Searching for the ultimate workingman's acoustic? Then, pick up an Eastman E10SS. From the first strum, you'll find the E10SS offers the perfect melding of slope-shoulder tone and dreadnought power. Its all-solid-wood construction consists of a Thermo-cured Adirondack spruce top, masterfully supported by mahogany back and sides. This handcrafted slope-shoulder dreadnought brandishes hand-carved, scalloped "X" bracing for added resonance, volume, and sustain. You'll appreciate the agile playability of the E10SS's Traditional Even "C"-shaped neck, which is crowned by a sleek ebony fingerboard. Furthermore, the E10SS is replete with eye-catching appointments, such as a Truetone gloss finish, classic-style rosette, ivoroid binding, pearl inlays, and a firestripe pickguard. An ebony bridge with a bone saddle and ebony bridge pins put the perfect finishing touches on this stunning handbuilt instrument. Players on the hunt for an acoustic guitar with a rich, powerful sound and plenty of warm character will get endless miles out of the Eastman E10SS.





Premium tone through meticulous design





The E10SS is a slope-shoulder dreadnought with rugged good looks and a muscular tone to match. This acoustic guitar boasts all-solid-wood construction with a Thermo-cured Adirondack spruce top and mahogany back and sides. The spruce yields a clear, defined tone that holds up to frenetic strumming without breaking up. The mahogany frames this spruce's clean, nuanced tone with a thick, harmonic-rich midrange that blooms into ear-grabbing overtones when you let the guitar's strings ring out. The E10SS also features hand-carved, scalloped "X" bracing, lending extra resonance, volume, and sustain to every note you play.

Conditioned play from heel to headstock





Sweetwater guitarists have found the E10SS acoustic to be a breeze to maneuver, thanks to its satin-finished mahogany neck with a Traditional Even "C"-shape profile. Onboard, the neck rests on a lithe ebony fingerboard, bearing pearl-dot inlays and white-dot side markers for accurate navigation and playability. A bone nut and saddle combo further promotes authentic string vibration; meanwhile, the E10SS's nickel hardware and open-gear tuning machines ensure tight intonation support for excellent stability between playing sessions. Topped off with a Truetone gloss finish, the E10SS is a valuable asset in the hands of any player searching for a true workingman's acoustic.
