A 00 Body Size with a "Vintage" Character and High-End Finishes
With its decidedly traditional aesthetics (classic rosette, pearl diamond inlays, pearl logo, nickel hardware), the E20OOSS/v-SB Antique Sunburst is aimed at guitarists seeking an acoustic guitar inspired by instruments from the golden age, while benefiting from modern and precise lutherie. The hand-scalloped X bracing enhances this "old-school" character by promoting top openness and responsiveness to touch.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This model is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced musicians who want an expressive and nuanced acoustic guitar capable of conveying attack variations. The 00 body size and short scale length provide a supple feel under the fingers, highly appreciated in fingerstyle, blues, folk, vocal accompaniment, and chord playing with controlled dynamics. The 20 frets and the specified action offer a solid foundation for a comfortable guitar, with room for more personalized setup.
Sound Characteristics
The solid Adirondack spruce top is renowned for its power reserve and clarity: it handles attack very well and maintains definition when played louder. Paired with the solid rosewood back and sides, it delivers a rich response with deep lows, bright highs, and generous harmonics, while retaining a structured midrange typical of compact body sizes. The hand-scalloped X bracing improves responsiveness and projection, while the combination of bone nut and bone saddle enhances attack, precision, and sustain. The ebony (fingerboard, bridge, pins) provides a firmer feel under the fingers and clear articulation, ideal for detailed arrangements.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original tension and balance, prefer a set of Phosphor Bronze strings in gauge 12-53 (such as the factory-installed D'Addario XT Phosphor Bronze .012 - .053).

Questions frequently asked
Is the Eastman E20Ooss/V-Sb suitable for fingerpicking?
The 00 body size, the short 629 mm scale length, and the 54.8 mm string spacing at the bridge all favor fingerstyle playing. The solid Adirondack spruce top with scalloped X bracing responds precisely to the nuances of attack.
What tone does the combination of Adirondack spruce and solid rosewood provide?
The Adirondack spruce top offers projection and clarity, while the solid rosewood back and sides deliver sustained bass and a rich harmonic range. On this 00 body with a width of 375 mm, this combination maintains a quick response with increased sustain.
Is the neck comfortable for chords and bends?
With a Traditional Even C profile, a 43 mm bone nut, and a 629 mm scale length, this model offers a softer tension than a longer scale. Enhanced chords, melodic phrasing, and subtle bends benefit from this setup. The 305 mm radius and 20 Jescar-FW43080 frets complete the playing ergonomics.
Can it be plugged into an amplifier?
This guitar is not electro-acoustic and no pickup system is specified.
What strings should be used on this acoustic guitar?
A set of Phosphor Bronze steel strings in gauge 12-53 is recommended to maintain the intended balance with its short 24.75-inch scale length. Ebony bridge pins, a bone saddle, and an ebony bridge contribute to precise vibration transfer.
