Eastman E40D Dreadnought Guitar w/ case

Description

Eastman definitely saved some of their best wood to produce this model which at the very top of their traditional series.  It has great feeling 3 piece neck. The overall appearance and attention to detail is really fantastic!  The photos don't do it justice.  Beautiful full & rich dreadnought tone!  I don't know if all the E40s they make have this kind of sound, but this guitar is really impressive.  I play with banjo and mandolin players and it always seems that the guitar is the first instrument to get buried in an un-amplified acoustic setting.  This guitar has "headroom" to spare! It sounds sweet and is responsive to a light touch, but the harder I play, it just keeps getting louder.  This E40 is so lively, it sounds like it has been played for years, and yet I just received it.  I shudder to think what this guitar will do once it  has been broken in.
