Default For the Comfort, Playability and Tone

Lately there have been a number of posts from folks desiring guitars that are smaller and easier to play. As a public service, I want to highly recommend the Eastman E 10 00 SS with a short scale.
I've owned mine for over a year now and it is an absolutely wonderful little guitar at an excellent price.
It is Adirondack and Mahogany, but is also available in Rosewood.
It projects extremely well and has great sustain. It is not an attempt to emulate the Gibson's a lot of guys play for blues but rather sort of a hybrid voicing that offers something in that vein with more versatility. Think CEO 7 only brighter.
I love playing mine on the couch or out performing.

Great post Jaime as I am currently one of those guys looking to downsize to a smaller bodied guitar. Sure looks like a beautiful guitar. I have actually been looking at the E10 00 12 fret. Here great things about those Eastmans!

My Colling C10 gets a lot of play time for similar considerations - and for years my only flattop had been a dread.
