Eastman E20P Thermo Cured 12 Fret

The Eastman E20P 12-Fret Rosewood Adirondack is a premium parlor guitar, designed with a focus on traditional craftsmanship and rich tonal character. With a body style resembling the historical "Single O" shape, it features an Adirondack spruce top paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, offering a complex and balanced tone.

The guitar's 12-fret design and slotted headstock enhance its vintage appeal, while the mahogany neck and ebony fretboard provide a smooth playing experience. The short 24.9-inch scale length contributes to a warm, resonant sound, making it an excellent choice for fingerstyle players or those who prefer a smaller-bodied instrument.

The E20P is known for its hand-carved scalloped X-bracing, which ensures a lightweight yet sturdy build, delivering exceptional projection despite its compact size. Its sunburst finish adds a touch of elegance, complemented by the classic pyramid-style ebony bridge and nickel hardware. While it is priced on the higher end, it is often regarded as a top-tier option in the parlor guitar category due to its impeccable craftsmanship and premium materials.

Although small by modern standards, the Parlor was indeed the "normal size" for guitars in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These instruments were meant to be played in small rooms for small groups of people. But do not let their small size fool you though. Because of the extra mass of a pyramid bridge which is positioned right at the widest point on the lower bout, this attrictive looking 12-fret guitar with slotted headstock can fill more than a parlor with its huge, distinct sound. Includes hardshell case and certificate of authenticity.
