Sound Pure's Take

The 8 series guitars are Eastman's premier acoustic guitars, and this one more than lives up to expectation. The Grand Auditorium body style is excellent for a wide variety of playing situations and this one performs gracefully when fingerpicked, flatpicked, or strummed. The Engelmann Spruce top is very warm but it still maintains plenty of clarity and pitch definition. Elegant appointments like the Abalone rosette and figured maple binding make this thing look as sweet as it sounds.
