Eastman E22ss/V-SB Antique Sunburst

An All-Solid Acoustic Focused on Precision and Expressiveness

The E22SS/v-SB Antique Sunburst positions itself as a characterful acoustic guitar, centered on solid fundamentals: selected tonewoods, refined bracing, and meticulous finishes. The combination of solid Adirondack spruce and solid walnut aims for a balance between clear attack, definition, and warmth, with an elegant aesthetic supported by a glossy finish and understated yet refined ornamentation.

For Which Guitarist and Styles?

Thanks to its short 24.75" / 629 mm scale length and traditional Even "C" neck profile, this guitar is especially suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a smooth feel and precise response. It excels in fingerstyle, vocal accompaniment, and pick playing when clarity from string to string is desired, while maintaining a nice roundness in the low end.

Sound Characteristics

The solid Adirondack spruce top delivers a clear attack, a wide dynamic range, and excellent sustain when played loudly, while remaining detailed in subtle nuances. The solid walnut back and sides contribute to a balanced spectrum, with clear mids and clean highs, helping the guitar stay defined in a mix. The hand-scalloped X bracing encourages top vibration and supports projection, while the ebony fingerboard and bridge enhance the sense of precision and immediate response.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the intended behavior from the setup and lutherie, prioritize Phosphor Bronze acoustic strings in 12-53 gauge (like the original set), ideal for preserving the balance between comfort, projection, and tuning stability.
