The Eastman E1P The Blues Master LTD Acoustic Guitar is a Parlor guitar – close to the ‘Single O’ body size dating to the end of the 19th century.
As with many other models from this builder, the Eastman E1P uses all solid wood construction. The top is Adirondack Spruce, while the sides and back are Sapele.
The body blocks and slotted-peghead 14 fret neck are Mahogany, with Ebony used for the pyramid style bridge and unbound fingerboard. The body binding is tortoise colour which elegantly frames the warm brown of the body.
Though the EastmanE1P is a small body guitar, it has a full, rich sound and is ideal for many musical styles, particularly those based on fingerstyle techniques. The neck is one of the widest available on stock steel string acoustic guitars at 1.81 inches or 46mm, allowing extra space for complex chord forms.
