Eastman Parlor, Sitka Spruce/Sapele, Gloss, Fishman

Eastman E1P DLX Parlor Sunburst—the compact charmer that’s small in size but not small in personality. It’s the kind of guitar that feels like a secret weapon in your hands: intimate, articulate, and ready to whisper sweet riffs into any room (or mic).

Think of this parlor as your “cozy blues cabin in your lap”: a solid Sitka spruce top that speaks with clarity and crisp edged nuance, paired with solid sapele back and sides that add warm midrange and a big hearted low end despite that petite body. The gloss finish dresses it up nice enough for stage lights, and Fishman’s Presys VT electronics make sure it translates that character straight to PA or recording without turning into some weird “guitar sound gospel.”

It’s the guitar you want to pick up every day—whether you’re going fingerstyle, bluesy bends, or rhythmic rhythm that keeps people listening.
