Eastman E2D-BK Black Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar #8201

The Eastman E2D-BK pairs a solid cedar top with solid sapele back and sides in a full-sized dreadnought body, finished here in gloss black for players who want cedar's warmer, more immediate voice with a bolder look. Cedar responds to a lighter touch than spruce, so the E2D-BK opens up at lower volumes without needing a heavy strumming hand to wake it up.

That responsiveness makes it a good match for fingerstyle players and strummers who favor dynamics over raw volume, while sapele back and sides behave similar to mahogany, but with a slightly airier top end that keeps the cedar's warmth from turning muddy. Hand-scalloped X-bracing helps the dreadnought stay balanced across the neck instead of favoring the bass strings.

A mahogany neck with a traditional even "C" profile, ebony fingerboard, and 1 3/4-inch bone nut keep the 25.4-inch scale comfortable, and the gloss black finish, tortoise binding, and maple headstock logo give it a workhorse look with more attitude than the standard natural finish. It's a dreadnought for the player who wants cedar's warmth and touch-sensitivity in a full-bodied, stage-ready size.
