The E8D Thermo-cured Dreadnought's large body produces a distinctive, powerful voice that can effortlessly handle bluegrass lines or cut through an ensemble mix like a pro. The E8D's solid rosewood body produces an incredibly rich acoustic voice, and Eastman equipped it with a solid Thermo-cured Sitka spruce top for increased resonance and robustness over time. Vibrational transfer from the strings to the mahogany neck and body is further facilitated by the dovetail neck joint. Additionally, this guitar's resonance is strengthened by hand-scalloped X-bracing, which maintains the spruce top's strength and balance throughout time.
