Eastman Guitars

Eastman guitars were born out of a passion for crafting high-quality string instruments, a tradition inherited from the company’s internationally recognized fine violin line. This expertise in precision craftsmanship and attention to detail laid the foundation for creating guitars that combine artistry with superior performance. By drawing on this heritage, Eastman has earned a reputation for producing instruments that are both beautiful and reliable.

Each Eastman guitar is built entirely by hand by expert craftspeople who use only the finest tonewoods and time-tested carving and building techniques.

Musicians can trust Eastman to deliver heirloom-quality guitars that perform consistently, whether on stage, in the studio, or at home.

With proper care, an Eastman guitar becomes more than just an instrument—it becomes a lifelong companion.

For players seeking a blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and lasting value, Eastman guitars stand out as a premier choice.

Eastman Mandolin Family Instruments

Founded on the same tradition that brought their violins and guitars international recognition, Eastman mandolins are crafted entirely by hand using time-honored methods. Each mandolin begins with carefully selected solid tonewoods, including spruce for the tops and maple for the backs, sides, and necks. Expert luthiers carve, graduate, and voice every plate by hand, ensuring that each instrument produces a warm, balanced tone. Unlike mass-produced instruments, every Eastman mandolin is individually shaped, assembled, and tuned to maximize resonance and projection.

The building process mirrors the meticulous standards of classical violin making. Necks are joined with precision dovetail joints, rims are bent from solid maple, and fingerboards, bridges, and fittings are made from high-quality ebony. Decorative details such as bindings and inlays are cut and applied by hand, while the thin varnish finish is brushed and hand-rubbed to enhance both sound and appearance. This combination of craftsmanship and artistry allows Eastman mandolins to capture the look, feel, and sound of prized vintage instruments while remaining accessible to today’s players.

Before leaving the workshop, each mandolin undergoes a professional setup to ensure playability. Bridges are fitted to the carved tops, string action is adjusted, and every instrument is tested for tonal response, clarity, and projection. With proper care, an Eastman mandolin can provide a lifetime of music and be passed down through generations. Whether you are a beginner seeking a responsive first instrument or a seasoned musician looking for heirloom quality, Eastman mandolins deliver the perfect blend of craftsmanship, tradition, and performance.
