Handcrafted and supplied with Eastman Guitars' highest tier of OOSS appointments, the E1OOSS acoustic guitar fits the bill for a bounty of performance scenarios and play styles. It all starts with an all-solid combination of spruce and sapele tonewoods, supplying traditional tone in a projective and comfortable chassis. A smooth mahogany neck topped with ebony and Jescar Fretwire frets makes movement around the fretboard a breeze, complete with sightly inlays and a dovetail neck joint. The E1OOSS's construction is completed with a collection of high-performance Eastman hardware, including open gear tuning machines and a true bone nut and ebony/bone saddle combo for imperative string support. Whether you're a fan of Eastman's distinct OOSS building practices or looking for a formidable addition to your instrument collection, the E1OOSS is a sight worth considering.





All solid tonewood construction





Sweetwater acoustic aficionados are in agreement: a solid tonewood construction makes for a bolder, more authentic voice. With that idea in mind, Eastman employed an all-solid Sitka spruce top and sapele back and sides design onboard the E1OOSS. Boosting response and tightness up top, spruce is a wonderful pairing with sapele's warmth and roundness, resulting in a traditional and articulate acoustic tone that's perfect for players of any genre and play style. Combined with its renowned OOSS body style and satin finish, the E1OOSS is just as comfortable to play as it is lovely to listen to.





Strategic satin neck and polished appointments





A Truetone satin-finished mahogany neck provides the E1OOSS acoustic guitar with more than enough room for quick notational transitions, articulate picking styles, and more ? not to mention a supple ebony fingerboard with pearl dot inlays and white dot side markers for enhanced visual accuracy. Further down the body, the E1OOSS's ebony/bone saddle and natural bone nut form solid string support, while open-gear Eastman tuning machines ensure the utmost intonation stability in between sets. Topped off with gorgeous nickel hardware and a deluxe satin body finish, the E1OOSS is an accomplished construction of performance and visual appeal.





Eastman Guitars: thinking inside the box
