Eastman E16SS-TC-LTD: DS Thermo Cured Sitka/Maple - Limited Edition Powerhouse
The Eastman E16SS-TC-LTD is a limited-edition slope-shoulder dreadnought acoustic guitar that combines vintage-inspired design with premium, modern construction.
Key Features:
- Slope Shoulder Dreadnought Body: Delivers a strong, balanced voice with a focused low end and clear treble response, offering exceptional projection and volume.
- Thermo-Cured Adirondack Spruce Top: The "DS Thermo Cured" indicates a torrefied (heat-treated) Adirondack spruce top.
This process mimics the aging of vintage wood, resulting in enhanced resonance, increased stiffness-to-weight ratio, and a mature, played-in tone right out of the case. - Solid Bookmatched Quarter-Sawn Figured Maple Back and Sides: Highly figured maple provides exceptional clarity, articulation, and a bright, focused tonal character that complements the Adirondack top beautifully. The quarter-sawn construction maximizes resonance and stability.
- Short Scale Length (24.75"): Offers slightly lower string tension, resulting in a comfortable playing experience and a warmer, rounder tone with enhanced sustain.
- Maple Neck with Traditional Even "C" Profile: Provides a comfortable and familiar feel for a wide range of players.
- Ebony Fingerboard with Pearl Otto D'Ambrosio Diamond Pattern Inlays: Offers a smooth playing surface and elegant visual appeal with distinctive inlays.
- Bone Nut (1 11/16" Nut Width): Ensures optimal string vibration transfer for clear tone and sustain.
- Bone Saddle (2 5/32" String Spacing): Contributes to clear articulation and comfortable string spacing at the bridge.
- Hand-Carved Scalloped X-Bracing: Allows the top to vibrate more freely, enhancing volume, resonance, and tonal complexity.
- Tortoise Shell Binding with Herringbone Top Purfling: Provides a classic and sophisticated aesthetic.
- Firestripe Pickguard: Adds a touch of vintage style.
- Open-Gear Nickel Tuners: Offer smooth and reliable tuning.
- Gloss Finish: Enhances the natural beauty of the woods.
- Hardshell Case Included: Provides excellent protection for storage and transport.
The Eastman E16SS-TC-LTD is a rare and exceptional instrument for players seeking a powerful, articulate slope-shoulder dreadnought with a beautifully aged tone and stunning figured maple aesthetics. Its limited availability makes it a highly desirable guitar for both players and collectors.
