Description
The Eastman 15SSV Slope Shoulder Dreadnought Acoustic in Antique Sunburst Varnish is built for players who want a warm, direct dreadnought voice with a comfortable short-scale feel. Its solid Adirondack spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides give it a strong fundamental, quick response, and a dry, woody character that works especially well for strumming, flatpicking, singer-songwriter work, and recording. The Antique Varnish finish and Firestripe pickguard give it a traditional look that suits the slope-shoulder design without feeling overly dressed up.
The mahogany neck uses Eastman's Traditional Even "C" profile and pairs with a 12" radius rosewood fingerboard for a familiar, comfortable feel. A 24.75" scale reduces string tension slightly compared with a longer-scale dreadnought, while the 1.72" bone nut gives the fretting hand enough room for clean chord work without feeling overly wide. Hand-carved scalloped X-bracing helps the top respond freely, while the all-solid mahogany back and sides keep the sound focused and balanced.
A rosewood bridge with bone saddle, ebony bridge pins, and custom vintage-style tuners with cream buttons round out a straightforward hardware package built for dependable performance. Pearl dot inlays, ivoroid binding, antique nickel hardware, and the pearl headstock logo keep the presentation classic. We think the 15SSV is a strong choice for players who want the punch and warmth of a mahogany slope-shoulder dreadnought with comfortable short-scale playability and solid wood construction throughout.
