For guitarists looking for a trusty acoustic that's ripe for fingerpicking exploits, Sweetwater strummers are quick to recommend the Eastman E10OO Slope Shoulder Thermo-cured acoustic guitar. This guitar combines the superior qualities of Eastman craftsmanship with a thermo-cured Adirondack spruce top and warm mahogany back and sides. Indeed, this handcrafted acoustic boasts all solid tonewoods for superior sound quality throughout its lifetime. Eastman touches like hand-scalloped X-bracing, a dovetail neck joint, and a Truetone finish contribute to an acoustic guitar that boasts a formidable presence, whether you're executing bluesy turnarounds, intricate chordal passages, or Travis-picked flourishes.





Ready to deliver an impeccable playing experience





From the E10OO’s all-solid wood construction to its handcrafted nature, this guitar is a shining star in the acoustic guitar world. This version of the E10OO is slope shouldered, meaning it has a more dramatic curvature from the top bouts to the middle's inward curves. Quality appointments abound, including 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.





Meanwhile, a dovetail neck joint joins the neck to the mahogany body, providing resonance and vibrational transference that allows the voices of the tonewoods to truly shine. Eastman’s hand-scalloped X-bracing not only aids in resonance, but also adds extra strength to the Adirondack spruce top. Hand-selected appointments such as a bone nut, nickel hardware, and open-gear tuners add up to a wonderful acoustic guitar that you'll treasure playing for years to come.
