Sound Pure's Take
Just getting into guitar? Wanting something you can haul around during festival season? Looking for the best value in a D18 style guitar out there? Don't waste your time with anything else! The all solid wood construction, handcarved bracing, and lightweight, resonant build of this Eastman E1D will flat out embarrass most other offerings at this price.
