From the Eastman website:
"Eastman Thinline guitars measure 1 3/4" in depth and feature exceptional tonal qualities. Each guitar is handcrafted by Eastman's talented luthiers and feature Kent Armstrong humbucking pickups. These versatile guitars neatly span the distance between a fine hollow body archtop and the classic center block thinline. 180 series guitars are available in classic, classic-sunburst, sunburst, red, and black finishes."
One consistent and outstanding characteristic of the Eastman archtop guitars is their exceptional unamplified sound. The use of all solid tone woods which are hand carved is one contributing factor. The excellent overall build quality is another. In the case of the thinline T184, a unique design feature enhances the natural acoustic properties of the sound. It is built without the interior center block running from from the end block to the neck heel which creates two separate small chambers. Instead, the top of the T184 is carved thicker in the area under the pickups, and the stop tail piece and bridge are supported only by a small interior mahogany block resulting in a larger internal cavity which is much more resonant. This single feature makes the instrument more of a hollow body guitar than a semi-hollow body with a surprisingly full voice uncommon to guitars of this type.
