The PCH2-D resembles Eastman Guitar's classic dreadnought design, with one catch ? the inclusion of premium rosewood tonewoods on the instrument's back and sides, offering a unique sonic experience for experienced musicians and emerging players alike. Crowned with a selection of deluxe Eastman appointments such as a true bone nut and saddle, Jescar fret wire frets, and high-performance closed-back tuning machines, the PCH2-D matches the playability and articulation of the rest of Eastman Guitar's acoustic lineup. Topped off with a player-preferred satin finish on the body and neck, the PCH2-D solidifies itself as a traditional yet widely playable acoustic instrument across a number of play styles, genres, and performance settings.





Resilient rosewood voicing





Paired with Eastman's timeless dreadnought formula, the PCH2-D's unique marriage of spruce and rosewood offers a classic playing experience with plenty of bite and warmth to round out any room with pure acoustic tone. Similar to mahogany, the guitar's rosewood back and sides is a perfect pairing for fingerpicking, strumming, and flatpicking playstyles, and stay extremely consistent throughout years of use, making it an excellent option for both beginners and professional practice sessions. Topped off with hand-constructed scalloped spruce X-bracing, the PCH2-D represents some of the most traditional acoustic tones Eastman Guitars has to offer.

High-performing Eastman hardware





Fitted with a true bone nut and saddle, the PCH1-D supplies ample string support with enhanced vibration authenticity. Up top, the guitar's closed-back nickel tuners and hardware ensure tight intonation, while a dual-acting truss rod supplies efficient adjustments for slight setup changes in between sets. Additional visual upgrades include an abalone soundhole rosette, top and back black plastic binding, pearl dot fretboard inlays, and a signature Eastman maple headstock logo.





Eastman Guitars: thinking inside the box





Many know the Eastman Music Company as a trusted name in the realm of band and orchestra instruments. Fortunately for all guitar lovers, Eastman Guitars has attained a similar stature with its steadfast dedication to the guitar-building process. Similar to how Sweetwater got its start, Eastman founder Qian Ni grew his business from its humble origins in the back of his car to its status as a burgeoning, reputable company. Today, Eastman is also the proud owner of Bourgeois Guitars ? as a matter of fact, Eastman’s high-end guitars are voiced by hand by luthiers trained under the multitalented Dana Bourgeois. True to Ni’s vision, Eastman Guitars meticulously approaches each instrument, backing them with a lifetime warranty. From hand-scalloped bracing to fine tonewoods to precision tap tuning, an Eastman guitar is a feature-rich instrument that will grow with you musically for years to come!
