Thermo Cured Wood

Eastman has developed thermo cured guitars. This means that the top of the body has been stored at really high temperatures so unnecessary coatings can be removed and the wood has already aged when it is installed on the guitar. This may not seem great, because why would anyone want to buy an old guitar? It’s actually quite simple; aged guitars have a larger range of tones and will sound a lot fuller and rich. Furthermore, thermo cured wood is better able to withstand temperature changes and humidity, which means it’s more reliable than a regular guitar.

Materials

Lastly, the E1SS Deluxe is made of high-quality materials. The guitar has a mahogany neck with an ebony fretboard. This combination is often considered to be ideal, as the mahogany neck is sturdy yet comfortable and the ebony fretboard sounds fantastic and looks stunning. The top of the body is made of thermo cured sitka spruce. Spruce is known for its bright and warm sound, which is further emphasised by the thermo curing process. Moreover, the guitar has solid sapele back and sides, which complements the warm sound of the spruce beautifully and adds a bright sound. Furthermore, the guitar has Fishman Presys VT electronics and comes with a bag. The E1SS Deluxe is thus a great guitar with an authentic vibe!

Eastman

Eastman was founded in 1992 by Qian Ni, a Chinese musician who had moved to America. He realised there were few professional instruments available at the time, which is why he decided to start his own company. Quality is still Eastman’s priority. Every instrument is made by hand and goes through an extensive process to ensure that the instruments will stand the test of time and can be used quite intensively.
