Eastman E1SS-SB acoustic guitar with compact playability
If you want an acoustic guitar that feels familiar right away, the Eastman E1SS-SB is a strong choice. Its shorter 24.75" scale and 1.68" (43 mm) bone nut create a smooth playing feel, especially if you are moving from electric to acoustic or simply prefer a more compact neck in your hands.
The mahogany neck with Traditional Even "C" profile, 12" fingerboard radius and ebony fingerboard all support that feel. With 20 Jescar-FW43080 frets and an action of 3/32" on the bass side and 2/32" on the treble side at the 12th fret, this Eastman is built for comfortable playing.
Solid build with warm, open tone
The all-solid construction shapes the character of this acoustic guitar. The solid Thermo-Cured Sitka spruce top and solid sapele back and sides produce a warm, open tone with quick response and a clear vintage character.
The hand-carved X-bracing helps projection, while the Truetone Satin finish lets the wood resonate freely for a natural tonal response. At Magna Music, you can also compare an acoustic guitar like this in person if you want to feel the difference in neck shape and response yourself.
Traditional details and complete package
Visually, the Eastman E1SS-SB keeps things classic and timeless. The Sunburst finish, tortoise binding and pickguard, pearl headstock logo and pearl dot inlays give the instrument a refined vintage look, matched with nickel open-gear 3+3 tuners.
You also get D’Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light strings (.012 - .053), a deluxe padded Eastman gig bag and a 4 mm truss rod wrench. The dual acting truss rod allows neck adjustment when needed.
