Description
The Eastman E20OM Traditional is a strong choice for players who want a vintage-inspired orchestra model with a more refined, responsive feel. It's especially well suited for fingerstyle, folk, and lighter flatpicking, where balance and articulation matter just as much as projection. Eastman leans heavily into pre-war style construction here, combining all-solid tonewoods with traditional build methods that give the guitar a broken-in, mature character right away.
The thermo-cured Adirondack spruce top paired with solid Madagascar rosewood back and sides gives this guitar a wide dynamic range with excellent clarity and warmth. Adirondack adds headroom and responsiveness, while the Madagascar rosewood brings depth, overtone complexity, and a strong low-end presence without muddying up the mids. Hand-carved scalloped X-bracing and the dovetail neck joint help the body resonate more freely, making the guitar feel lively and connected whether you're fingerpicking or digging in a bit harder.
The mahogany neck with a Traditional Even C profile feels comfortable and familiar, and the ebony fingerboard keeps things smooth and precise under the hands. Small details like the bone nut and saddle, Gotoh tuners, herringbone binding, and abalone snowflake inlays give it a more upscale feel without being flashy. We like this for players who want a serious orchestra model with vintage character, modern consistency, and a tone that opens up more the longer you play it.
