The physics behind this is as follows: Finger-style produces less treble and more bass because the soft pads of the fingers are used. A smaller body counters this with its tightly focused treble. Conversely, the use of a pick produces a treble attack that can be offset by increasing the body size of the instrument and subsequently, its bass response. A player who does equal amounts of both types of playing might gravitate toward an instrument near the centre of the size continuum. 2 Parlour Grand Concert Orchestra Model Although small by modern standards, this was the normal sized instrument in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Guitars were considered a parlour instrument, that is, to be played in small rooms for small groups of people. Don’t let their diminutive size fool you though. With the extra mass of a pyramid bridge moved to the widest point on the lower bout, this slotted headstock 12 fret guitar can fill more than a parlour with its huge sound. With its shape inspired by the contours of the great classical guitars of Spain, the Grand Concert’s addition of steel strings to this iconic design creates a powerful instrument. Most commonly associated with finger-stylists, the Grand Concert is also flatpick friendly due to its depth. All Eastman Grand Concert models have an elegant slotted headstock and a functional 14 frets clear of the body. This is the quintessential finger-style instrument. With amazing dynamic range, the Orchestra Model runs the gamut from subtle to bold. OM’s are articulate and comfortable to play due to their reduced body depth. Eastman takes a creative departure from the traditional by equipping our OM’s with a 25” scale length. BODY SHAPES Consider the real use of the instrument. If it is to be used in an ensemble setting, what other instruments will it be played and where does the guitar fall into the mix of the overall music? If it is to be used to accompany the vocalist, consider the timbre of the voice to be accompanied. The physical stature of the player and comfort level may also affect the choice of body size. These are simply general rules and in music, rules are made to be broken! Grand Auditorium The modern profile of the Grand Auditorium represents the best of both worlds for flatpickers and finger-stylists. The Grand Auditorium is a true hybrid that has many of the attributes of smaller bodies with the volume, punch and bass of a dreadnought without sacrificing anything. Dreadnought The iconic shape of the Dreadnought is synonymous with acoustic guitars in general. Big and bold, these cannons are perfect for ensemble settings where the guitar competes for sonic space with other instruments or accompanying strong singers. The Dreadnought is the classic flat-picking bluegrass instrument. Jumbo Similar in output to a dreadnought, Jumbos are a bit more curvaceous and visually striking. Eastman adds to the excitement of owning a Jumbo with the AJ series which add a carved arched back to the already bold frame. 3 TONE WOODS Tone woods should be viewed as a way to fine tune a guitar buyer’s choice once the body style has been chosen. It is important to point out that although there are general tonal characteristics to each wood that Eastman chooses to use, anomalies occur all the time with these woods. SIT KA SPRUCE Scientific name: Picea sitchensis Origin: Northwestern North America Sitka is the most commonly used top wood for acoustic instruments. Its large logs yield a high quantity of even grained soundboards. It is most noted for retaining its clarity when played forcefully. Eastman uses Sitka spruce on their mandolins, flat-top acoustics and carved arch-top guitars. ENGL EM AN N SPRUCE Scientific name: Picea englemannii Origin: Western North America Lighter in color and weight than Sitka, Englemann’s tonal characteristics are rich and complex. Although it’s clarity can be sacrificed when played loudly, its definition is pronounced when played softly. Eastman uses Englemann spruce on their 500 and 700 series flat-top acoustic guitars. AD IRON DACK S PRU CE Scientific name: Picea rubens Origin: Eastern North America Heavier and stiffer than most spruces, Adirondack or Red Spruce has a high volume ceiling but can also be played dynamically. Eastman uses Adirondack spruce on many of their Traditional Series flat-top guitars and high end mandolins. This is the traditional top material found on Golden Era America flat tops. ROSEWOOD 4 Scientific name: Dalbergia (species varies) Origin: India, East Asia With its high velocity of sound and strongly pronounced low frequencies, Rosewood is commonly used as the back and side material in performance quality acoustic guitars. Rosewood delivers its signature low frequency without sacrificing highs or mids and the sympathetic harmonics it produces add a perceived reverb effect. Eastman uses Rosewood for the back and sides of some of their Traditional Series flat-tops as well as their 400 and 700 series acoustics. Rosewood is also used as the fretboard material on the 300 series mandolins, 100 and 200 series acoustics and 300, 400, 500 and Jim Fisch archtops. TONE WOODS MAHOG ANY Scientific name: Swietenia (species varies) Origin: Tropical forests throughout the world Mahogany is known for its dark woody tone with an emphasis on the low/mid frequencies. It has an ambient acoustic quality that sounds the same to the player and the listener. Eastman uses mahogany for the backs and sides in some of their Traditional Series guitars, 500 series acoustics and Jim Fisch archtops. MA PLE Scientific name: Acer (species varies) Origin: Northern Hemisphere Maple, with its flames, pommels and quilts is one of the most visually striking tonewoods used in instrument making. It is acoustically transparent and known for its treble attack and forward projection. Eastman uses maple for the backs and sides on their mandolins, 600 series acoustics, Uptown and Uptown Deluxe archtops as well as the tops of their double cutaway Thinline series guitars. SA PE LE Scientific name: Entandrophragma cylindricum Origin: Africa Although Sapele is often referred to as “African Mahogany”, it is not from the mahogany family. It does however resemble mahogany in tonal characteristics with it dark woody tone and ambient low-mids. Eastman uses Sapele in their 300 series acoustic guitars. EB ON Y Scientific name: Diospyros Origin: Western Africa & the Asian Subcontinent Ebony is a very dense, dark wood that has historically been used for fingerboards in orchestral stringed instrument. As a tonewood, it adds a dynamic attack to instruments. Eastman uses ebony as the fretboard material on their 500 series and higher mandolins, Traditional Series acoustics with Adirondack Spruce, 300 series and higher flat-tops and both the Uptown and Uptown Deluxe series archtops. LA MIN ATE Laminates are a ply of multiple layers of veneers (most often 3) that are pressed together in a cross-grained orientation. Laminates are more durable than solid woods, take on some of the tonal characteristics of the woods from which they are made and tend to resist feedback more than solid woods when amplified. Eastman uses laminates for the backs and sides on the 100 and 200 series acoustics and 500 series archtops. The 300 and 400 series archtops are made entirely out of laminates. 5 AC O U S T I C G U I TA R S Traditional Series The Eastman Traditional Series is inspired by the great flattops of the Golden Era. While modern production gradually drifts further from the discipline that created this legacy, Eastman embraces it. The result is a brilliant tribute to the iconic guitars of the 30’s and 40’s. Mahogany backed models feature classic microdot fret markers and Rosewood backed models are ornamented with elegant snowflake inlays. All models include vintage inspired all solid wood construction, bone nut/saddle and periodcorrect styled tuners. Deluxe hardshell case included.

You’d be hard pressed to find a more authentic and experienced jazz guitarist than John Pisano. Born in Staten Island, N.Y., the venerated accompanist became a fixture on the West coast jazz scene in 1956, when he moved to L.A. to play with the Chico Hamilton Quintet, launching a career that’s included stints with virtually every major jazz musician of the past half-century, from the legendary Django Reinhardt to Diana Krall. Fifteen years ago, he kicked off the John Pisano Guitar Night series, a weekly gig that provides a platform for pioneering guitarists from around the world. We caught up with Pisano to talk about the instruments he now considers essential to his work. What’s the guitar series about? I play with other guitarists, some greats and some up-and comers, like the young Israeli Gilad Hekselman—he’s a monster. Along the way, I teach jazz guitar at Cal State Northridge. I’ve been very lucky. Everybody plays guitar. But I’ve been able to make a living off it. Do you have a favorite guitar? Right now, I have about 30 guitars. You always find one that has this special sound. Primarily, I use the Eastman guitar, the one I designed. How did you hear about Eastman? I’m a good friend of Bob Benedetto, one of the country’s foremost acoustic guitar builders. He’d mentioned this guitar, and said he was amazed at its acoustic quality. But I was at the NAMM show and Bob said I should check them out. I located the booth, picked one up and it knocked me out. There was one in particular: It vibrated on my body. They don’t normally sell instruments from the floor but a person at the booth recognized me and I was able to buy the guitar that day, the “905.” I still have it. What aspects of an Eastman guitar appeal to you? The acoustic quality, the feel, everything about them. This is the way all the great guitars used to be put together. Certain people work on the binding, certain people work on the carving, certain people do the gluing. The handcraftsmanship. If I had my choice, I’d pick the Eastman over stuff out there that could cost thousands more. 8 ‘I located the booth, picked one up and it knocked me out’ H A N D C R A F T E D E A S T M A N A R C H TO P G U I TA R S Premium tonewoods and meticulous craftsmanship form an harmonious relationship that made Eastman’s name in the jazz guitar world. The choice of tonewoods and the time honoured process followed to craft these guitars create an organically acoustic tone that is seldom matched. Chords are full and complex while single notes are crisp and well defined. Custom Kent Armstrong pickups complement the sound of the wood and deliver a smooth and balanced tone. The hardware and fittings provide form and function and the traditional lacquer finish is as beautiful as it is functional. 10 Jim Fisch Archtop Models Uptown Guitar Models Uptown Deluxe Models A ‘dressed down’ guitar of modest appearance with a superior midrange, volume and a very woody vintage tone.

Before his unfortunate passing, he made his impression on the Uptown guitar series by using mahogany for the back and sides and rosewood for the fretboard, bridge and tailpiece to give it a unique voice as well as “dressing it down” for a modest appearance. The result is an archtop with superior midrange, volume, and a very woody vintage tone. Deluxe hardshell case included.
