Get to know them!





Eastman serves up another instant classic with the fluid playability and solid wood construction of its E3OME orchestra model acoustic-electric guitar. Yes, you read correctly, this guitar boasts an all-solid wood construction, leveraging a Sitka spruce top, ovangkol back and sides, mahogany neck, and ebony fingerboard. Sweetwater has to hand it to Eastman for putting its handcrafted signature on these guitars ? notably, auxiliary resonance enhancers like scalloped X-bracing and a dovetail neck joint. A superb choice for fingerstyle or folk, the E3OME sits easily on the knee for a laid-back playing experience. Combined with the balanced, full-spectrum voice of this guitar’s tonewoods, the orchestra body doles out prime acoustic character. Lastly, the inclusion of Fishman Sonitone electronics ensures you're ready to plug in for rehearsal, gigs, or studio time!





Ready to deliver an impeccable playing experience





Sweetwater has to say we admire the ways Eastman brings true quality to players. From the E3OME’s all-solid wood construction to its handcrafted nature, this guitar is a rising star in the acoustic guitar world. But the quality appointments don’t end there! The E3OME features a mahogany neck with a Traditional Even “C” shape for a comfortable playing experience all the way down the neck. Capped with ebony, the fingerboard is ready to receive chords or fast fingerpickin’ styles with ease.





What’s more, a dovetail neck joint joins the neck to the ovangkol body, providing resonance and vibrational transference that allows the voices of the tonewoods to truly shine. As mentioned before, this guitar also boasts Eastman’s hand-scalloped X-bracing that not only aids in resonance but adds extra strength to the Sitka spruce top. Other factors like a bone nut, nickel hardware, and open-gear tuners contribute to a wonderful acoustic guitar inside and out.
