Eastman guitars are known for their excellent price-quality ratio's. Now, they're adding some innovations to that mix.

Eastman is leading in their class with excellent workmanship, sound and quality. From the hand-selected wood species, the beautiful details and the perfect fit & finish; at Eastman, every instrument gets the attention it deserves.

This instrument is the Dreadnought as many want it and have it, a Sitka spruce top on a rosewood body. What distinguishes this guitar is the use of full-solid woods over the entire guitar, not only the top and the body, but also the bridge and the fretboard are made out of real Ebony. This contributes to the sound and will also ensure that the guitar sounds more beautiful the longer you have her. After all, the wood is still growing.

In short, this is the E8D like we know it. But, with a twist! This dreadnought has a "Thermo Cured" top. This ensures that the wood is exposed to heat and pressure, so that it has already lost most of its moisture in the process. The result is a guitar with a played-in character, with the sound qualities of an older vintage instrument.

The guitar also has a Gloss Nitrocellulose finish, which ensures that the wood can continue to 'breathe' properly and that more tone comes out, this is a finish that normally does not occur on such guitars.
