Whether you're looking for a lightweight, travel-friendly instrument or a well-balanced acoustic for recording, the Eastman E20P ticks all the right boxes. Handcrafted using all-solid-wood construction, the E20P's Thermo-cured Adirondack spruce top offers clean sound with plenty of definition and loads of headroom, which is anchored by the zingy, reverberant tone supplied by its rosewood back and sides. Your playing will benefit from extra resonance, volume, and sustain courtesy of hand-carved scalloped "X" bracing. The dexterous playability of the E20P's Traditional Even "C"-shaped neck makes it difficult to put this guitar down, and its sleek ebony fingerboard seals the deal further. Moreover, the E20P is chock-full of head-turning appointments, such as a Truetone gloss finish, classic-style rosette, herringbone binding, pearl and abalone inlays, and a tortoiseshell pickguard. An ebony bridge with a bone saddle and ebony bridge pins round out this stunning, handbuilt instrument. Players searching for a premium small-bodied acoustic with a punchy yet delicate sound will feel extreme satisfaction every time they pick up an Eastman E20P.





Premium tone through meticulous design





A small-bodied acoustic with a great big sound ? that pretty much sums up the E20P. This parlor-sized acoustic guitar boasts all-solid-wood construction with a Thermo-cured Adirondack spruce top and rosewood back and sides. The spruce yields a clear, defined tone that holds up to frenetic strumming without breaking up. The rosewood frames the spruce's clean, nuanced tone with a zingy, reverberant response that's guaranteed to bring out the best qualities in your fingerpicked passages. The E20P also features hand-carved, scalloped "X" bracing, lending extra resonance, volume, and sustain to every note you play.

Conditioned play from heel to headstock





Sweetwater guitarists have found the E20P acoustic to be a breeze to maneuver, thanks to its satin-finished mahogany neck with a Traditional Even "C"-shape profile. Onboard, the neck rests on a lithe ebony fingerboard, bearing abalone-snowflake inlays and white-dot side markers for accurate navigation and playability. A bone nut and saddle combo further promotes authentic string vibration; meanwhile, the E20P's nickel hardware and open-gear tuning machines ensure tight intonation support for excellent stability between playing sessions. Topped off with a Truetone gloss finish, the E20P is a valuable asset in the hands of any player searching for a high-quality, small-bodied acoustic.
