Eastman E16SS-TC Limited Quartersawn Maple
De Eastman E16SS is andermaal een prachtige Slope Shoulder, en niet in de minste plaats door de gelimiteerde oplage van slechts 200 stuks wereldwijd. De E16SS nestelt zich tussen de E6SS, E10SS en E20SS, en is zo een prachtige aanvulling op het assortiment van Eastman. De heldere en gearticuleerde sound zal menigeen verbazen!
De E16SS is voorzien van specificaties die niet zouden misstaan op gitaren die vele malen duurder zijn. Zo beschikt de gitaar over een Adirondack sparren bovenblad dat de Thermo Cured-methode heeft gekregen. Dit houdt in dat het hout is blootgesteld aan hitte en druk voor het bouwen, waar het in dit proces een groot deel van zijn vocht al verliest. Het resultaat is een gitaar met een ingespeeld karakter en de gewilde klankkwaliteiten van een vintage instrument.
Het instrument beschikt verder over een klankkast uit prachtig esdoorn dat is voorzien van een tortoise binding en herringbone purfling. Dit laatste element is samen met de slagplaat en inleg op de toets afgeleid van de duurdere E20SS, en geeft de gitaar een prachtige uitstraling. De gitaar wordt met echtheidscertificaat geleverd in een koffer.
The Eastman E16SS is once again a beautiful Slope Shoulder, not least because of the limited edition of only 200 pieces worldwide. Nestled between the E6SS, E10SS and E20SS, the E16SS is a wonderful addition to the Eastman range. The clear and articulate sound will surprise many!
The E16SS is equipped with specifications that would not look out of place on guitars that are many times more expensive. For example, the guitar has an Adirondack spruce top that has been thermo-cured. This means that the wood has been exposed to heat and pressure before building, where it already loses a large part of its moisture in the process. The result is a guitar with a played-in character and the sought-after sound qualities of a vintage instrument.
The instrument also features a beautiful maple body with a tortoise binding and herringbone purfling. This last element, together with the pickguard and fingerboard inlay, is derived from the more expensive E20SS, and gives the guitar a beautiful appearance. The guitar comes with a certificate of authenticity in a hardshell case.
