Vintage-Inspired Parlor Design ⢠Thermo-Cured Adirondack Spruce ⢠Solid Mahogany
The Eastman E10P-TC is a beautifully crafted parlor guitar that combines vintage-inspired design with modern Eastman craftsmanship.

â Why We Chose This Guitar
There is something special about a great parlor guitar.
The smaller body naturally encourages a more intimate playing experience, while the 12-fret design and shorter 24.9â scale length give the E10P-TC an extremely comfortable feel. Add Eastmanâs 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.

Our Expert Opinion
The E10P-TC is a gem in Eastmanâs 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 doesnât try to sound like a dreadnoughtâand thatâs exactly the point.
This is a guitar with its own personality.
â
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.
Itâs an excellent recipe for a vintage-inspired instrument.

Tobias Music Insight
The E10P-TC is a perfect example of why we enjoy Eastman guitars so much.
A parlor guitar doesnât need to be loud just for the sake of being loud. What makes a great parlor special is character. The E10P-TC has that character in spades.
The combination of a small 12-fret body, Thermo-Cured Adirondack Spruce and Mahogany creates a remarkably expressive instrument. It has a voice that feels personal and immediateâone that rewards both delicate fingerstyle playing and a more aggressive pick attack.
This is one of those guitars that youâll find yourself reaching for simply because it feels and sounds good.
