If you’ve been looking for an acoustic you can leave out on a stand, grab for a jam session, or noodle on from the couch without babying it, the Eastman PCH and Travel Series might be exactly what you need. These guitars are proof that “affordable” and “cheap” aren’t the same thing.
Why the Eastman PCH & Travel Series Stand Out
Eastman has built a reputation on real craftsmanship, and that carries through even at their most accessible price point. The PCH and Travel Series guitars land in the $400–$600 range, but they don’t feel or sound like beginner-tier instruments. Here’s what sets them apart:
- Solid tops paired with laminate back and sides — a combination that keeps cost down without sacrificing tone
- Consistent, well-designed builds across the line, so what you play in the shop is what you get
- Comfortable playability that makes them easy to pick up for a quick session or a long writing stretch
A Body Style for Every Player
The series isn’t a one-size-fits-all lineup. You’ll find:
- OM (Orchestra Model) styles for a balanced, versatile voice
- Cutaway versions for players who want easier access to the upper frets
- Dreadnoughts for that classic, full-bodied acoustic sound
We currently stock the Eastman PCH1-OM Acoustic in Natural and the Eastman PCH1-GACE Acoustic Electric, and as a full line Eastman dealer, we can order in any model you’re after.
Who These Guitars Are For
Whether you’re just starting out, need a reliable backup, or want a dedicated writing tool that lives on a stand instead of in a case, the PCH and Travel Series fit the bill. They’re built to be played often, not babied.
Thinking About Trading Up?
If you’ve got old pedals, amps, or guitars sitting around, bring them by. We love doing trades and swapping out old gear for new gear, so an Eastman upgrade might be closer than you think.
Come Play One
Specs and price points only tell part of the story — the rest is in how a guitar feels in your hands. Stop by the shop in Lancaster, PA, pick one up, and give it a strum.
