Eastman E10ss Sunburst Thermo Cured

A dreadnought in the spirit of great traditional acoustics

With its generous size and fine luthiery (solid top, solid mahogany, hand-scalloped X bracing), the E10SS Sunburst Thermo Cured follows the lineage of traditional acoustics designed to carry rhythm and fill the sonic space. The thermo-cured treatment of the top aims to bring the wood's behavior closer to that of a "played-in" instrument, with a more immediate response and a sense of openness.

For which guitarists and styles?

This acoustic folk guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive dreadnought for both pick and fingerstyle playing. It excels in folk, country, pop, and vocal accompaniment, while remaining very convincing in picking thanks to its definition and dynamics. The short scale facilitates light bends and reduces perceived tension, a real plus with 12-53 gauge strings.

Sound

The solid Adirondack spruce top provides power, a wide dynamic range, and firm highs, particularly appreciated when playing with a pick. Combined with the solid mahogany back and sides, the output favors rich mids, clean lows, and excellent note separation, ideal for open chords and precise rhythms. The hand-scalloped X bracing promotes projection and spectrum openness, while the ebony fingerboard and bridge enhance attack and clarity. Finally, the 24.75" scale length contributes to a smoother playing feel and a slightly warmer tone, with a naturally present sustain.

Recommended compatible accessories

To preserve the original feel and tonal balance, prioritize Phosphor Bronze strings in 12-53 gauge (such as factory-installed D'Addario XT .012 - .053). The Hardshell Case is included for daily transport and protection.
