The Eastman L-OOSS-KOA is a testament to the art of lutherie, blending premium materials, meticulous construction, and elegant aesthetics to create an instrument that is as inspiring to play as it is to behold. This orchestra-style acoustic guitar offers a rich, balanced tone, exceptional playability, and striking visual appeal, making it a true investment for discerning musicians.
Tonewoods and Construction:
At the heart of the L-OOSS-KOA lies its stunning all-koa body. Solid A-grade koa graces both the top, back, and sides, providing a warm, resonant tone with rich overtones and exceptional projection. Koa is known for its unique tonal properties, offering a blend of mahogany's warmth and maple's brightness, which matures and sweetens over time. The hand-scalloped X-bracing further enhances the guitar's resonance and responsiveness, allowing the top to vibrate freely.
The mahogany neck, carved to a comfortable Traditional Even "C" profile, provides a familiar and supportive feel in the hand. The 12" radius ebony fingerboard offers a smooth playing surface, facilitating effortless chording and soloing. Jescar-FW43080 fretwire ensures precise intonation and long-lasting durability. The bone nut, with a 1.68" (43mm) width, contributes to clear and articulate tone.
Attention to Detail:
Every aspect of the L-OOSS-KOA showcases Eastman's commitment to detail. The snakewood rosette with turquoise/magenta purfling adds a touch of elegance to the soundhole, while the rosewood binding with matching purfling outlines the top, back, fingerboard, and headstock. The pearl headstock logo and hurricane pearl/abalone inlays further enhance the guitar's visual appeal. Ebony bridge pins with abalone dots and custom open-gear tuners with ebony buttons add both functionality and aesthetic refinement.
Playability and Sound:
The L-OOSS-KOA boasts a 24.75" scale length, providing a comfortable string tension and easy playability. The action offers a balanced feel for both fingerstyle and strumming, but can be customised by us as to your preferences. The ebony bridge and bone saddle contribute to the guitar's clear and resonant tone. The D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light (.012 - .053) strings provide a balanced tone and extended string life.
Finish and Hardware:
The Truetone gloss finish on the body enhances the natural beauty of the koa wood while providing protection. Nickel hardware complements the guitar's overall aesthetic. A tortoise pickguard adds a classic touch. A hardshell case is included for safe storage and transport.
