We feature Eastman guitars often on the channel — not just because we love them, but because they usually offer excellent value for the price. But what does a premium Eastman acoustic bring to the table? Especially one with a thermo-cured Adirondack spruce top and the highly coveted Madagascar rosewood back and sides? Madagascar rosewood is often considered legendary, drawing comparisons to the rare and revered Brazilian rosewood. But does it really sound better than mid-tier Eastmans like the E6 (mahogany) or E8 (East Indian rosewood)? This E20-OM TC-MR even commands a notable premium over higher-end Eastmans like the E10 or standard E20 models. Give it a listen and judge for yourself: Is this premium Eastman worth the upgrade? Would you choose it over something like a Martin 000-28, which costs more but comes with more traditional appointments? Specs at a Glance: The Eastman E20-OM TC-MR is an OM-style acoustic guitar featuring: • Thermo-cured Adirondack spruce top • Madagascar rosewood back and sides • White plastic binding • Ebony bridge and fretboard • 24.9” scale length • Gotoh open-back tuners • Ships with a premium Eastman hardshell case Interested in this guitar?
