This guitar sounds really good.

Thanks😊

Actually, the tops are not thicker! Instead there is a round internal support inside of the sound hole (a feature unique to Eastman to further reinforce the top: ingenious idea!). If you feel inside the sound whole, you can feel the true thickness of the top just beyond that round internal sound hole support.

@myguitardetective5961 Mine bellied bulge behind the bridge with Mediums 13-56 so I sold it ok sounding guitar but apparently only really braced for lights.

@@ryanbloom1738 I’ve had an Eastman E40 D for almost 4 years now. Much better guitar than my Martin D-28 HD: better built, superior woods and far-better sound - best dreadnought I’ve ever played. I’ve NEVER heard of an Eastman top bowing: not once, ever … I’d imagined with a TC top it would be even LESS likely (I hate TC tops…they dry the wood but unfortunately make them more fragile too which isn’t the case with tops aged naturally). Most flatpickers prefer medium gauge strings and Eastman’s scalloped bracing mimics Martins current bracing design. Does Eastman recommend Light gauge strings on their Drednoughts?… they do, of course, on their OM’s…using an abundance of caution, I string mine w/ John Pearse Slightly Lights…

You talk toooooo much about insignificant things, and not enough about the important things concerning the eastman.
