OUR COMPANY STILL THINKS INSIDE THE BOXWhen it comes to building a guitar, there is a big difference between assembly and artistry. If history hastaught us anything, it is that there is no substitute for skilled craftsmanship. At Eastman Guitars, each instru-ment is given the attention to detail required to ensure that it reaches its maximum potential. Features such ashand-scalloped bracing and precision tap tuning are just two examples of the way we differentiate ourselvesfrom our competitors. Considering the outward beauty of an Eastman Guitar, its often easy to overlook the

skill and artistry applied to the inside of such a fine instrument. Then again, one strum will change all that.
