Yet another spotlight addition from Eastman Guitars' discerning acoustic arsenal, the L-OM-QS guitar carries bold, clear tone through an extremely comfortable chassis. Topped with European spruce and surrounded by mahogany-like sapele tonewoods, the L-OM-QS is full of traditional warmth and full-bodied sustain. Thanks to an onboard LR Baggs Element pickup system, sound is directly carried over to your source of amplification with maximized authenticity and personality, complete with tone and volume control for decisive sound control. Deluxe hardware inclusions like true bone materials, nickel hardware, and open gear tuning machines further arm the L-OM-QS with ample leverage for a number of play styles. Whether you intend on strumming away at a practice session, recording in the studio, or tackling the stage, the L-OM-QS will handle the task in complete confidence.





Bound in Eastman tonewood tradition





Solid European spruce and AA solid quilted sapele ? both spectacular tonewood additions to the L-OMCE-QS ? have left several Sweetwater guitarists basking in superlative Eastman tone. Up top, spruce provides a balanced traditional acoustic tone with plenty of body, further expanded by the guitar's scalloped X-bracing. Combined with quilted sapele on the back and sides, the L-OMCE-QS produces warm, sustained tone with plenty of power and room for sonic articulation. Finally, it's all laid on Eastman's Orchestra model body style, adding sophisticated style and comfort in stage and studio environments.

Stage-ready LR Baggs Element pickup system





The LR Baggs Element pickup system has emerged as the quintessential choice for a bounty of acoustic-electric guitar models at Sweetwater. Given its under-saddle design and superior dynamic range, the Element pickup mirrors tone with exceptional detail, ensuring an output that's as close as possible to your instrument's intended voice. Additionally, volume and tone controls are available to extend sound management to match any performance or recording session to a T.





Quality appointments service quality tone





In tandem with its high-class tonewoods and sought-after electronics setup, the L-OMCE-QS's onboard appointments represent the pinnacle of Eastman design. Complimentary nickel hardware and open-gear tuning machines ensure excellent intonation stability, while a genuine bone nut and saddle administer optimal vibrational accuracy. Onboard the ebony fingerboard lies Jescar Fretwire frets and pearl/abalone inlays, providing excellent navigability and charming panache. Finally, the L-OMCE-QS's smooth mahogany neck features a dovetail joint and a Traditional Even "C"-shape profile for maximum comfort in the hands of any discerning musician. When premium playability is of utmost performance, Sweetwater guitarists look no further than the L-OMCE-QS.
