Eastman E3DE Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Eastman E3DE combines classic flat-top heritage, artisan hand-voicing, and stage-ready amplification into an all-solid dreadnought workhorse. Built with Eastman’s violin-shop pedigree, the E3DE pairs a solid Sitka spruce soundboard with solid West African ovangkol back and sides, finished in Eastman's ultra-thin Truetone Satin. The result is an open, uninhibited acoustic voice that outclasses standard heavy-poly production-line builds.

Whether driving bluegrass flatpicking rhythms, laying down acoustic tracks in the studio, or plugged into the PA on stage, the E3DE delivers expansive acoustic headroom, rich dynamic touch response, and tour-ready onboard electronics.

Key Features & Player Benefits

• Solid Ovangkol Back & Sides: Sourced from West Africa, ovangkol belongs to the rosewood botanical family. It blends the dry, focused midrange punch of mahogany with the expansive low-end resonance and bell-like treble chime of East Indian rosewood.
• Solid Sitka Spruce Soundboard: Produces immediate dynamic response and clean harmonic headroom, opening up and maturing in harmonic richness as the guitar is played over the years.
• Truetone Satin Finish: Eastman’s environmentally friendly Truetone satin finish provides a sleek, non-sticky feel along the neck and body. Because it applies thinner than traditional gloss coats, it reduces surface damping and lets the solid tonewoods resonate and project at full volume.
• Hand-Voiced Violin-Shop Architecture: Features traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing shaped with artisan chisels, a genuine wood-to-wood dovetail neck joint, and a bone nut and saddle for maximum string energy transfer.
• Genuine Ebony Appointments: Outfitted with an authentic ebony fingerboard and matching ebony bridge for smooth fretting, fast note tracking, and lasting durability under heavy string tension.
• Discreet Stage Electronics: Factory-fitted with discreet soundhole-mounted pickup controls, preserving the traditional dreadnought profile while providing pure, natural plugged-in tone.
• Padded Gig Bag Included: Ships with a heavy-duty, reinforced Eastman gig bag for reliable daily travel and climate protection.
