I went to a small guitar store in Worthing to try a T184MX - loved it, but made the fatal mistake of just trying an SB59/v/
Very different guitars, but I couldn't decide which I loved more, so I came away with both. A rare spontaneous and indulgent moment.

I only had strats and teles and an archtop...now the family is bigger! 

cheers

This Eastman/Kauffman T64 was made as a homage to a 1967 Gibson ES330!

Hi Eastman family,

I have read, for a while now, that Gotoh SE Series tuners were most likely the "perfect direct 'drop-in'" option to replace the Ping Well stock tuners for the E1SS model.

When I got hold of the dimensions of the stock Ping Wells and dimensions of the 3 Gotoh SE models suggested, I saw that the measurements are not exactly the same.

So, my question is, will this selection require some drilling / filling after all? And, if so, does anyone know of alternatives to the Gotohs (of equal quality) that would be a TRUE "drop-in?"

Dimensions are attached, thanks so much for thoughts!

The first feature is Novo guitars which is of little interest to me personally - but it gets better.

Decided to record a video this past weekend comparing the Eastman HE422CE to the Taylor 414CE.

Hello All, I have just invested in this semi hollow body. I’m really an acoustic guitar player and have an AC222CE OV in my stable! I really love this guitar and consequently my decision to try a T386. I really like a bluesy/creamy tone so what strings would you advise me to put on this guitar to achieve that tone?

Hi, I recently acquired an Eastman HE422CE. I decided to record a video review and demonstration of this guitar. Enjoy!





Upon research, I found out that the 422CE is supposed to mirror the Taylor 414CE. I saw a Taylor 414CE at my local guitar shop. Let me know if you want me to do a video comparing the Eastman HE422CE to the Taylor 414CE and I'll sneak into that guitar store and quickly shoot a comparison video lol.

HI all,

I recently got an E20 D-MR-TC that came with 12-53 PB strings. I am considering going to 13's hoping for alittle more "body" wondering if some of you have experienced with string gauges and brands on theese intruments. There are so many options one could spend a fortune just trying them.

What worked best for you ? I do hear a lot of good things about John pearse Phosphore bronze but Please share your experience.

Please help me find the name of this tune! It was played by John Chapman from the acoustic shoppe in one of their recent live stream. John's an incredible player. He played this tune on an E1D and it sounds so good.

Chatgpt is useless so I am coming here for help cause you guys are knowledgable! Thanks!
