Eastman Guitar Build Overview
The 12-fret parlor body enhances warmth and midrange presence, giving the E1P a relaxed, vintage-inspired tonal character that excels in blues, fingerstyle, and roots music. The shorter 24.9" scale length and compact body size create a comfortable, intimate playing experience that responds effortlessly to a light touch.
Finished in Eastman’s Truetone satin, this model allows the tonewoods to breathe and resonate freely while offering a smooth, broken-in feel. With its ebony bridge, tortoise binding, and understated vintage styling, the E1P captures the essence of early American acoustic design with modern reliability and craftsmanship.
