(USED) The thermo-cured or "torrefied" guitars from Eastman have become the flagship of their traditional line. We are about a decade into torrefaction being widespread in the construction of fine flat tops, and the differences are hard to ignore. A guitar with a torrefied top has a more played-in sound, a quicker responsiveness and more resistance to swings in humidity. Win-win-win!
