Sounds fantastic and great volume too. Superb. "It is a discontinued and rarely seen model, sought after by those who are familiar with its superior tone and projection. It features a high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish This guitar has a woody tone with lots of depth and clarity. The carved arched back on the guitar has no bracing which makes for a light weight guitar and allows for increased resonance. The craftsmanship is top notch and the fit and finish is amazing, comparably to some Gibsons I've played. The flame maple on this guitar is stunning and is nicely book-matched on the arched back. This Eastman is on par with many high-end American acoustic guitars".. Sold
