Get to know them!





With its time-tested tonewoods, gorgeous design, and elegantly functional hardware, Eastman’s E10OM-TC model represents the epitome of acoustic class. A body of solid mahogany complemented by a stunning Adirondack spruce top gives the E10OM-TC an impressive frequential leg-up on its Sitka spruce counterparts, offering a musically rich foundation with both a charming midrange and boastful projection that’s incredibly clear at all volumes. This model’s top wood also features Eastman’s revered Thermo-cured treatment, which provides not only an impressively vintage look, but also that warmer vintage sound. Pro-player elements like an ebony and bone bridge/saddle combo, a proprietary Traditional Even “C” neck profile, and a real bone nut deliver a comfortable and natural responsiveness that can’t be ignored. Clad in tortoiseshell at the pickguard and body binding, plus a triple-tier soundhole rosette and a handsome set of open-gear tuning machines, the E10OM-TC exudes the classic and charismatic character of a genuine vintage orchestra-bodied acoustic.





Tonewoods destined for success





Sweetwater guitarists love to see true acoustics done right, and the Adirondack spruce and mahogany tonewood combination of the E10OM-TC sets the bar high from the get-go. By nature, Adirondack spruce takes on a much more vibrant tonal personality, laden with forward midrange, effortless volume, and articulate clarity for a sound that speaks its mind with unmistakable definition. Enhanced in terms of the lower frequencies via a body of luscious solid mahogany, the slightly smaller orchestra body of the E10OM-TC sings a proud and well-rounded song that simply speaks to the soul. Factor in its scalloped spruce X-bracing beneath the top, and the E10OM-TC ensures that every projected note and chord is delivered with totally balanced strength.

Welcoming feel for all guitarists





The beauty of the E10OM-TC isn’t just in the body ? its comfortable neck and fingerboard feel welcomes 6-stringers of all musical paths! It starts with a mahogany neck that’s been carved to Eastman’s commanding Traditional Even “C” profile, offering a classic hold for palms of all sizes. A 14-fret ebony fingerboard with pearl dots not only looks sleek, but establishes an effortlessly traversable playing surface with rich sustain from top to bottom to accommodate rhythm and solo work with equal appeal. Paired with its smaller yet full-sounding orchestra body shape, it’s easy to take a confident hold of the E10OM-TC in any performance space.





All-natural class abounds





To round out the phenomenal playability of the E10OM-TC, Eastman gave this guitar the perfect blend of natural response, dependable hardware, and aesthetic charm. With a real bone nut, bone saddles, and an ebony bridge on your side, you can expect an incredibly natural and traditional string response that’s backed by plenty of woody sustain as you play. Up at the headstock, a 6-piece of open-gear tuning machines provide even more of that vintage look with the dependability to keep you sounding your best, track after track. And speaking of good looks, the E10OM-TC comes bound in tortoiseshell with a matching pickguard, plus an elegantly concentric rosette for a superior touch of detailed class.
