Acoustic Guitar / HN268811

Description of product

The Eastman Strings brand was founded in 1992 by Chinese flutist Qian Ni after graduating from the Boston University School of Music. Over three decades, the company's portfolio has grown to include acoustic, semi-acoustic and electric guitars (Eastman Guitars) and with it the brand's fame, so that the company's players include such luminaries as James Dean Bradfield (Manic Street Preachers), Adrian Utley (Portishead) and Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth). In the case of Eastman instruments, you can rely on superior craftsmanship, demonstrated by features and techniques such as hand-cut ribbing or individual tuning of the instrument's soundboard.

The Eastman Dreadnought PCH1-D-CLA acoustic guitar is part of the 'Pacific Coast Highway' series, which offers more affordable instruments with semi-massive construction.

The front of the guitar is made of Sitka spruce, while the back and sides are made of laminated sapele. A rosewood fingerboard fitted with twenty frets is glued to an okoumé neck with a pleasing "C" profile. The resonance of the top is supported by traditional X-type ribbing, and orientation on the fingerboard is facilitated by mother-of-pearl position dots.

The strings are held in nickel tuning machines and rosewood fingerboard via a bone fret. The nice workmanship is accentuated by the double-sided perimeter body binding, mother-of-pearl rosette (Abalone), black pickguard and company logo on the headstock.

The guitar comes in a padded gig bag.
