2021 Eastman E1OM 000-Size guitar


Overview: I took this nice, newer Eastman in trade just recently. It's a really nice, mid-grade, all-solid, 000-style instrument and sounds and plays comparable to Martins and Taylors double the price. These guys make a good guitar! It's roughly "style 18" in specs and sounds a lot like a more mids-rich 000-18, too.


Interesting features: It's got a satin finish, solid spruce top, and solid sapele (like mahogany) back and sides. The ebony fretboard and bridge are a nod to '30s-style Martin appointments -- as is the teardrop pickguard. They call this an OM (orchestra model) instrument, but that usually signifies longer (25 3/8"+) scale lengths, while this one has a solidly middle-road 25" scale length which is close to a typical 24 7/8" length typical for a 000-style guitar.


Repairs included: I just gave it a restring and quick setup. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: This is lightly-used and shows a little light pickwear around the soundhole and a little usewear in the body but, to be honest, looks like it could have walked out of a shop a week ago. There's a tiny bit of playwear in the frets in first position but it's so very light that it has no effect on playability -- as a rule we level/dress any fretwear if it needs it in our shop even if it's minor.


It comes with: No case officially, though I will include a gigbag if I have something on hand.
