Thermo Cured top

Eastman is highly regarded by players on a slightly tighter budget. Nevertheless, they are very high-quality and hand-crafted instruments that punch way above their price level. If you are looking for a Rosewood OM this one easily stands its ground when compared to the more expensive brands. The Eastman Traditional series, the word traditional says it all, is a tribute to the golden years of American guitar building. In particular, the Martins from the 1930s and 1940s are still an inspiration to many contemporary luthiers including not only Santa Cruz, Collings, Bourgeois and Huss & Dalton but also Eastman. This Eastman E8 OM has a solid Thermo Cured Sitka spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides, making it easy to compete with the well-known American counterparts. This guitar comes in hard case with a certificate of authenticity.
