We’ve just taken delivery of another brand new Eastman DT30OM!
The Eastman DT30OM is the second model in Eastman’s new Double Top line, bringing high end classical guitar technology to the steel string world – here in a classic Orchestra Model body design.
The double top concept aims to allow a very thin, light and responsive top but with superior strength and stiffness. Here, thin layers of Sitka Spruce are bonded to a honeycomb Nomex core. Nomex is a Kevlar polymer and helps provide significant improvements in stiffness to weight ratios.
Aside from the use of the double top, the Eastman DT30OM is a lovely, elegant Orchestra Model guitar with Indian Rosewood for the sides, back and headplate, Ebony for the bridge and ivoroid-bound fingerboard, herringbone purfling and a mother of pearl ‘Hallelujah’ inlay set and logo. The rosette includes an Abalone ring. The neck and body blocks are Mahogany, and the neck features a double action truss rod.
The finish is a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, very cleanly applied.
It sounds very good, and is very responsive, with the warm, rich tone and even harmonic representation expected from a quality OM guitar. Because of their even tone, these models are very well suited to fingerstyle playing.
The Eastman DT30OM is sold with the original Eastman hard shell case.
