DISCONTINUED!!! Eastman E6 OM Steel String Guitar Natural

Brand:

Instrument Categories: , , ,

The Twelfth Fret has been an Eastman dealer for some time and the Eastman E6 OM illustrates why – this is a well designed and built guitar with a great sound.  The name can be a little confusing when written because of the similarities of the capital O and number 0 – this is an E6 model with an OM or Orchestra Model body, not an E60 M!

The Eastman E6 OM is a warm and balanced sounding guitar with straightforward classic appointments. The OM or orchestra sized body is a smaller shape dating to the early 1930s with a curvy waist and more compact lower bout. This results in a very comfortable playing experience particularly in a seated position. The smaller body also requires less energy to get the top moving and responds really well to a lighter touch. Fingerstyle playing and light to medium strumming really bring out the voice of this instrument.

Featuring a classic wood pairing of Sitka spruce and Mahogany, the Eastman E6 OM has a warm yet balance voice. The Sitka spruce top provides a clear note fundamental and great dynamics and the pushed midrange of the mahogany sides and back adds girth, warmth and some natural compression. It has great volume for a smaller bodied guitar and the even “C” neck profile feels substantial but not too large.   As a practical detail, the neck is built with a scarf-joint headstock, which provides significantly improved resistance to breakage compared to one-piece designs.

Visual appointments such as the open gear tuners, tortoise body binding and pearl dot inlay subtly frame the wood sets for a simple classy aesthetic. The Eastman E6 OM is a great sounding workhorse small bodied guitar!

The Eastman E6 OM is sold with the original Eastman Hard Shell Case.
