Sound Pure's Take

Boom!  We've been waiting for these bad boys to land after our longstanding obsession with the rambunctious (and delightfully red) E10SS/Vs left us wondering: what would happen if Eastman did this same, super thin varnish finish on a Rosewood b/s guitar?  The wait is over!  And the answer is clear--they sound [insert explicative] phenomenal.  Lightweight, reverberant, and bassier than their Mahogany brethren, these instruments are flatout our new favorites from the dedicated artisans at Eastman.

Dreadnought Pickin'

Iconic, big, and bold. You’ll never have to worry about competing for sonic space with this classic, flat-picking bluegrass instrument. Perfect for ensemble settings where cutting through the mix can be an issue.
