Eastman has a knack for building acoustics that feel like they've been around a lot longer than they have. This parlor sized guitar pairs a solid thermo cured Adirondack spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides, giving it a warm, focused voice with surprising clarity and response. The Truetone gloss finish, tortoise shell binding and matching pickguard give it a classic look that suits the smaller body perfectly.
The mahogany neck has Eastman's Traditional Even C profile, with an ebony fingerboard, pearl dot inlays and a comfortable 1 13/16" bone nut. The shorter 24.9" scale makes it especially comfortable to play, while the hand-carved scalloped X-bracing helps the Adirondack top respond with plenty of resonance and sustain. At just 3 lbs 15 oz, it's an easy guitar to pick up and spend an afternoon with.
What we really like about a good parlor guitar is the character they bring to the table. The E10P-TC has a more focused, intimate sound than a full-size dreadnought, making it a natural fit for fingerpicking, blues and songwriting. The Adirondack top gives it plenty of dynamic range when you dig in, while the mahogany body adds warmth and balance. It's a smaller guitar that doesn't feel small in personality, and that's a pretty nice combination.
