Short Description:

Thermo-Cured Sitka Tone with Slope-Shoulder Warmth

What We Think:

The Eastman E1SS-SB is a slope-shoulder dreadnought that delivers classic acoustic character with impressive warmth, responsiveness, and vintage-inspired appeal. Its thermo-cured Sitka spruce top and solid sapele body create a mature, open voice with strong fundamentals, balanced projection, and a rich woody character that feels remarkably broken-in. The hand-scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and dynamic response, making the guitar equally comfortable for strumming, flatpicking, and singer-songwriter accompaniment. Finished in a handsome sunburst Truetone satin finish with traditional tortoise appointments, it captures the look and feel of a well-loved vintage instrument. Warm, articulate, and highly musical, the E1SS-SB offers exceptional value and performance for players seeking classic slope-shoulder tone and style.
