Eastman E1P-DLX-SB Sunburst

A "parlor" format with a Sunburst look, designed for finesse and comfort

With its compact body dimensions and Truetone Gloss finish, the E1P-DLX-SB Sunburst emphasizes a vintage aesthetic and immediate playability. Details such as the top and back purfling, tortoiseshell pickguard, and mother-of-pearl logo on the headstock reinforce its identity while focusing on the essentials: an expressive and easy-to-live-with acoustic sound.

Who is it for, and what styles?

This acoustic guitar is particularly aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists seeking a comfortable instrument, as well as advanced players looking for a more compact size. Its body size and nut width of 1.68" / 42.7 mm make it very suitable for fingerstyle, blues, folk, and pick accompaniment, with excellent control over dynamics.

Sound

The solid Sitka spruce top provides clarity, attack, and a great dynamic range, ideal for highlighting right-hand playing details. The solid sapele back and sides balance the spectrum with present mids, natural warmth, and good chord definition. The hand-scalloped X bracing enhances body responsiveness and musical sustain, while the combination of mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard reinforces precision, stability, and comfort across the entire 24.9" / 632.5 mm scale length. For amplification, the Fishman Presys VT electronics preserve the acoustic spirit of the instrument in stage or rehearsal settings.

Recommended compatible accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original setup and feel, favor a steel string set 12-53 (light gauge), identical to the factory setup D'Addario .012 - .053 EXP16.
