Sound Pure's Take
We were honored to get 2 of the 10 Merlefest dreads Eastman made this year--this is the last one! This guitar is a perfect example of Eastman's uncanny ability to compete with instruments going for twice, three times the price of something like this dreadnought. But the rolling thunder presence, lightning fast response, and cavernous sustain ready to spring to life within this dread are undeniable--find out about this rare piece of high caliber 'grass machinery today before someone else does!
From Eastman Guitars
The iconic shape of the Dreadnought is synonymous with acoustic guitars in general. Big and bold, these cannons are perfect for ensemble settings where the guitar competes for sonic space with other instruments or accompanying strong singers. The Dreadnought is the classic flat-picking bluegrass instrument.
