Eastman E1SS-SB Slope Shoulder Acoustic Guitar - Sunburst - Solid Sitka Spruce Top - Solid Sapele Back/Sides w/ GigBag

Manufacturer Part #:  E1SSSB
Features

The Eastman E1SS-SB is an all-solid wood acoustic guitar designed in the classic Slope Shoulder Dreadnought style, offering a bold and rich tone with vintage aesthetics.

The model name and description detail the following:

  • E1: Part of Eastman's Traditional series, offering premium, hand-crafted features at an accessible price point.

  • SS: Denotes a Slope Shoulder body shape, similar to a Gibson J-45. This shape typically provides a warmer, more balanced, and "compressed" tone compared to a traditional square-shoulder dreadnought, often praised by singer-songwriters and strummers.

  • SB: Indicates the visually appealing Sunburst finish on the top.

Key Features and Specifications

  • Body Style: Slope Shoulder Dreadnought

    • Tone: Known for a strong voice, focused low-end, and powerful projection, with a warmth often associated with the classic rounder shoulder design.

  • Top Wood: Solid Sitka Spruce

    • Note: Some versions of the E1SS may also feature a Thermo-Cured (torrefied) Sitka top for enhanced resonance, though the model typically uses standard solid Sitka Spruce.

  • Back & Sides Wood: Solid Sapele

    • Tone: Provides a warm, punchy midrange and clear treble, tonally very similar to Mahogany.

  • Bracing: Hand-Carved Scalloped X-Bracing, which allows the solid top to vibrate more freely, enhancing volume and dynamic range.

  • Finish: Truetone Satin Finish on the entire guitar, offering a smooth, fast feel and a finish that allows the tonewoods to resonate naturally.

  • Neck Material: Mahogany

  • Neck Profile: Traditional Even "C"

  • Fretboard: Ebony

  • Nut & Saddle Material: Bone

  • Scale Length: 24.75" (Shorter scale length, contributing to lower string tension and comfortable playability).

  • Nut Width: 1 11/16" (1.68" or 43mm), a slightly narrower width than some Eastman models, favored by many strummers and players with smaller hands.

  • Acoustic Pickup: This model generally comes purely acoustic (no electronics), but "Deluxe" versions or dealer-installed options may feature a system like the Fishman Presys VT.

  • Included: Deluxe Padded Eastman Gig Bag.
