EASTMAN continues to produce models that boast high quality despite their reasonable prices. The techniques honed over many years of making violins, cellos, and double basses are now being applied to guitar making as well. Furthermore, in recent years, they acquired the legendary acoustic brand "Beaujolais Guitars," fully absorbing its essence while further enhancing their manufacturing precision. This "E40D-TC SB" is a gorgeous D-42 style guitar featuring beautiful inlay work! The top wood is made of rare Adirondack spruce. AAA grade material with a fine grain and beautiful texture is used luxuriously. The side and back materials are also made of carefully selected Indian rosewood with a beautiful grain. Having fully incorporated the essence of Beaujolais, it boasts a beautifully balanced range with a thick, solid midrange as its core. Combined with the powerful sound and vibrant harmonics characteristic of the D-42 style, it results in a truly captivating sound. Because it uses a top wood treated with Thermo-Cure, it produces a rich, full sound that sounds like a guitar that has been played for many years, even when it's brand new. Eastman has leveled up dramatically thanks to their partnership with Beaujolais!! The moment you hear the first note, you'll immediately feel, "This is great..." It's finished to an amazing quality. While it is a guitar that offers "high cost performance," it has the ability to make you feel that it is "a genuinely good guitar" regardless of the price. Please give it a try! ※※Thermo-Cure※※ Eastman's proprietary heat treatment technology, "Thermo-Cure".
