Eastman E20D-SB Sunburst

A Traditional-Style Sunburst Dreadnought with Refined Finishes

Featuring a dreadnought body shape (16" / 406.4 mm body width) and a Sunburst finish, the E20D-SB embraces the classic acoustic folk guitar aesthetic while showcasing an ambitious level of craftsmanship: solid woods, scalloped bracing, ebony fingerboard and bridge, bone nuts, and elegant decoration (Classic rosette, pearloid logo, abalone inlays). The result is a guitar built to last, open up over time, and offer a distinctive sonic personality both on stage and in the studio.

Who Is the E20D-SB Sunburst For?

This guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive, powerful, and nuanced acoustic. The dreadnought format and Adirondack spruce top make it an excellent partner for pick accompaniment (folk, pop, acoustic rock, country) and flatpicking, providing plenty of "headroom" to handle energetic playing. Thanks to the 44.5 mm / 1.75" nut and 12" / 304.8 mm radius, it remains very comfortable for fingerstyle and arpeggios, with good string separation.

Rich Sound: Adirondack + Rosewood, the Projection and Depth Duo

The solid Adirondack spruce top is renowned for its quick response and ability to deliver a sound that maintains clarity even when played loudly: the attack is clear, harmonics rise easily, and the guitar holds its presence in the mix. The solid rosewood back and sides provide a solid low-end foundation, bright trebles, and long sustain, highly appreciated for open chords, melodic lines, and alternate tunings.
The hand-scalloped X bracing enhances the sense of liveliness and projection while allowing the top to breathe for better sensitivity to dynamics. In terms of craftsmanship, the combination of ebony bridge and bone saddle contributes to precise intonation and note clarity, while the 25.4" / 645 mm scale length maintains comfortable string tension for improved clarity and sustain, especially when playing with a pick.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve the original feel and balance, choose a phosphor bronze folk string set with a .012 - .053 gauge (like the factory-installed set) for this guitar. This ensures the same response, projection, and consistent action with the specified setup.
