Eastman E20 OM-SB 2022 w/ Original Hard Case - $1,200 (Chico)
QR Code Link to This Post
This 2022 Eastman E20 OM-SB is an exceptional example of Eastman’s highly regarded Traditional Series, offering boutique-level craftsmanship, refined tone woods, and classic prewar aesthetics. Built with a solid Adirondack spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, this OM delivers rich overtones, articulate mids, and the dynamic headroom that Adirondack tops are known for. The hand-applied sunburst nitrocellulose finish adds vintage warmth and depth to its already striking appearance.
The comfortable mahogany neck is paired with an ebony fingerboard, providing smooth playability and precise intonation across all 20 frets. Hand-scalloped X-bracing allows the top to resonate freely, making this guitar equally suited for fingerstyle players, flatpickers, and singer-songwriters. The OM body shape offers excellent tonal balance and projection without sacrificing comfort.
This 2022 example is in excellent condition with minimal wear and includes its original hard shell case. There are no cracks, repairs, or issues. The neck set is perfect, and the action is too. There is room in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustment. The frets show barely any use.
