Sound Pure's Take
This one's really alive. To my ear, the sloped shoulders lend it a little more balance by cutting out some of the bass frequencies. This puts the guitar right where I want it as a solo performer. It plays very well and responds to dynamic shifts gracefully.
Visually, it's striking. A subtle dark burst and lovely striped grain on the back and sides.
This is one of the best Eastmans I've played and I'm sure it won't stick around long.
From Eastman Guitars
The Eastman Traditional Series is inspired by the great flattops of the Golden Era. While modern production gradually drifts further from the discipline that created this legacy, Eastman embraces it. The result is a brilliant tribute to the iconic guitars of the 30's and 40's.
