Eastman EU2-t Natural

EU2-T: a refined tenor format designed for upgrading

The EU2-T Natural embodies a "lutherie" approach: an all-solid construction, a fine satin finish, and traditional materials (bone and rosewood) that prioritize vibration and stability. Its tenor format aims for a highly sought-after balance between compactness, comfort, and sonic breadth, with a sober aesthetic enhanced by refined details (binding, classic rosette, mother-of-pearl markers).

Who is the Eastman EU2-T for?

Thanks to its short scale length and low action, the EU2-T is well suited for beginner musicians seeking a pleasant and accurate instrument, while remaining expressive enough for intermediate to advanced playing. The tenor format provides a solid foundation for accompaniment (strumming) and excellent precision for arpeggios, melodic playing, fingerstyle, and modern arrangements. It is particularly suited to folk, pop, chanson, bossa nova colors, and the "woody" textures sought after in the studio.

Solid mahogany tonewood: warmth, clear attack, and singing mids

The choice of solid mahogany for the soundboard, back, and sides delivers a homogeneous sonic signature: present mids, a clear attack, and a warm character, with controlled bass and soft highs. On a tenor format, this construction favors balanced projection and natural sustain, ideal for highlighting groove in rhythm playing as well as note definition in solo playing. The Truetone Satin finish (body, neck, and headstock) contributes to an "organic" feel under the hand and allows the instrument to breathe. The bone components (nut and saddle) add precision to the attack and better harmonic clarity, while the rosewood bridge supports stability and vibration transmission.

Recommended compatible accessories

To fully utilize the EU2-T daily, a clip-on chromatic tuner is a reliable and universal choice, practical both in rehearsals and at home. The included Eastman gig bag simplifies transport and protects the instrument from minor impacts.
