The Eastman E10OM-TC is a powerhouse Orchestra Model (OM) that offers a different tonal flavor than the rosewood-based E20OM-TC. While the E20 is "lush," the E10OM-TC is celebrated for its clarity, mid-range punch, and fundamental focus, making it an elite choice for both fingerstyle and recording.

The Adirondack & Mahogany Punch

The primary reason to choose the E10OM-TC is the specific combination of Solid Mahogany back and sides with a Solid Thermo-Cured Adirondack Spruce top.

• Adirondack Spruce (Red Spruce): Known as the "King of Tonewoods" for pre-war guitars, it has a higher ceiling for volume and projection compared to Sitka spruce.

• Thermo-Curing: By "cooking" the wood in a oxygen-free kiln, Eastman removes moisture and resins, giving you the dry, resonant response of a guitar that has been played for 50 years.

• Mahogany Warmth: Unlike Rosewood, which can be bass-heavy or "busy," Mahogany provides a clean, woody tone where every individual note in a chord remains distinct.

Product Features

The Eastman E10OM-TC is built with boutique-level attention to detail that rivals instruments twice its price.

• Hand-Carved Bracing: Uses scalloped X-bracing that is hand-voiced to ensure maximum top vibration.

• Comfortable Scale: Unlike many OMs, Eastman uses a 24.9-inch scale length, which provides slightly lower string tension and makes "stretchy" chords much easier to play.

• Premium Parts: Includes an Ebony fingerboard, bone nut and saddle, and Gotoh open-gear tuners for rock-solid stability.
