The smaller body naturally encourages a more intimate playing experience, while the 12-fret design and shorter 24.9” scale length give the E10P-TC an extremely comfortable feel. Add Eastman’s beautifully executed vintage-inspired construction and a Thermo-Cured Adirondack Spruce top, and you have a parlor that is anything but ordinary. The E10P-TC is one of those guitars that invites you to pick it up and play. It is equally at home accompanying vocals, fingerpicking on the couch, recording in the studio or simply sitting in your favorite chair with a guitar in your hands. ✅ Why You’ll Love This Guitar Parlor-size body with a comfortable, intimate playing experience 12-fret neck/body design inspired by classic vintage parlor guitars Solid Thermo-Cured Adirondack Spruce top for excellent responsiveness and headroom Solid Mahogany back and sides for warmth, punch and a strong fundamental voice Hand-Carved Scalloped X bracing Comfortable 24.9” scale length 1 13/16” bone nut with plenty of room for fingerstyle playing Ebony fingerboard and bridge Traditional tortoise appointments Truetone Gloss finish Hardshell case included ✅ Our Expert Opinion The E10P-TC is a gem in Eastman’s parlor guitar lineup. What really makes this guitar stand out is the way Eastman has approached the instrument as a serious acoustic guitar rather than simply making a smaller version of a larger model. The combination of a Thermo-Cured Adirondack Spruce top, solid Mahogany body and hand-carved scalloped bracing gives this little guitar plenty of tonal sophistication. The Adirondack top brings excellent sensitivity and dynamic range, while the Mahogany body keeps the sound focused and warm. The smaller body emphasizes the midrange and gives the guitar a wonderfully direct, vocal quality. For players who appreciate vintage guitars, fingerstyle playing, blues, folk and intimate singer-songwriter accompaniment, this is a very compelling instrument. ✅ Tone Profile Warm • Woody • Focused • Responsive • Punchy • Intimate The Thermo-Cured Adirondack Spruce top gives the E10P-TC excellent clarity and responsiveness. Adirondack is known for its ability to remain articulate when played aggressively while still responding beautifully to a light touch. The Solid Mahogany back and sides add warmth, strong fundamentals and a woody character that works exceptionally well with a smaller-bodied guitar. The parlor body produces a naturally focused voice with an expressive midrange. It doesn’t try to sound like a dreadnought—and that’s exactly the point. This is a guitar with its own personality. ✅ The Thermo-Cured Adirondack Difference Thermo-Curing is a process that uses controlled heat to alter some of the physical characteristics of the wood, giving the Adirondack Spruce top a more played-in response. On the E10P-TC, that makes a particularly interesting combination with the compact parlor body. You get the quick response and dynamic range associated with Adirondack Spruce, combined with the immediate, broken-in character that makes this guitar so enjoyable right out of the case. It’s an excellent recipe for a vintage-inspired instrument. ✅ Construction & Specifications Body Body Style: Parlor Body Design: Vintage-Inspired 12-Fret Body Dimensions: 13-3/4” x 4-1/8” Top: Solid Thermo-Cured Adirondack Spruce Back & Sides: Solid Mahogany Bracing: Hand-Carved Scalloped X Finish: Truetone Gloss Binding: Top & Back Binding Material: Tortoise Shell Pickguard: Tortoise Shell Rosette: Classic Neck Neck Material: Mahogany Fingerboard: Ebony Fingerboard Radius: 12” Neck Profile: Traditional Even “C” Scale Length: 24.9” Nut: Bone, 1 13/16” Frets: 20 Jescar FW43080 Truss Rod: Dual Acting Bridge & Hardware Bridge: Ebony Saddle: Bone Bridge String Spacing: 2-3/8” Bridge Pins: Ebony Tuners: Open-Gear PingWell V93N 3+0 Hardware: Nickel Headstock Logo: Pearl Fingerboard Inlays: Pearl Dots Strings & Setup Strings: D’Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light String Gauge: .012–.053 Factory Action: 3/32” Bass / 2/32” Treble at the 12th fret Included Hardshell Case 4mm Allen Truss Rod Wrench ✅ Who It’s Perfect For The Eastman E10P-TC is an excellent choice for: Fingerstyle Players The comfortable body size, 12-fret design and 1 13/16” nut provide an excellent platform for fingerstyle playing.
