Eastman's three-rung all-solid dreadnought ladder, the E1D, E10D and E20D, built as lower-cost alternatives to the American dreadnoughts they follow.
Watch
Why it matters
The three models trace a clear ladder of price and tonewood, which makes the range easy to shop across a wide budget. Hand-carved scalloped bracing and all-solid construction are the reasons Eastman is taken seriously here rather than dismissed as a budget copy. Each model also exists in Thermo-Cure form with a heat-treated top.
Note
All-solid dread ladder — the D-18/28 alternatives that shook the market.
