I've been gone for a time, as if I'm not mistaken  there wass ome sort of change done 3-4 years ago to the site?? Anyways ,finally got back on and wanted to share my recent purchase with you all. I found a lightly used E06OM from a Guitar shop and received it today. Honestly ,looks Brand New!  There serial # if I decoded it correctly, states it is a 2019 model manufactured in March/April.
When I googled 2019 specs for this guitar it came up showing a TC top which I'm doubting as it also showed a True Tone finish which I believe didn't start happening untill the Bourgeois/ Eastman partnership (4 years ago)?
 Looking for infor regarding if true or not.I have allready sent a request to Eastman a couple days ago with no response.

Thanks, and great to be back!!

Hello. After your knowledge and advice. Playing my AC222 CE OV today when a strange noise occurred and next the bridge simply broke apart. You will see in the photo where and how. It seems I have two options. Either attempt to glue the broken part back in place, although the Internet says it will never be strong enough to withstand the string tension OR try and remove the rest of the bridge, source and buy a new one. So I am in the UK, can anyone advise where to source a bridge with string spacings of 2 5/32 inches. I would need to also purchase the clamps and adhesive. What would you do? Apologies if you read this elsewhere as I have posted in Eastman Facebook group as well.

I've been blessed with an eclectic taste in music - from JSB to Hank Williams and Charlie Mingus (you must listen to Blues & Roots before you pop your clogs). I just like music. And I'm not ashamed to say I enjoy a number of power ballads, and this one in particular - The Power of Love co-written and sung by New York's Jennifer Rush, who for some reason never made it big in the US but did pretty much everywhere else in the world.  
This vid compares Celine Dion's cover version of The Power of Love with Jennifer Rush's original. My choice is obvious but which do you prefer?

You thoughts?

Born in n 1892 Elizabeth Cotten was self taught and only 12 years old when she wrote Freight Train. What she could do with two fingers is a lesson to us all :-

so jimi hendrix wasn't the first left hander to play a right handed guitar upside down lol

About 10 (Maybe less) years ago, I traded a USA Ovation Elite Acoustic for an Eastman AC712 because I was interested in learning finger style guitar. Since I only paid $250 for the Ovation, I wasn't out any money, but I really didn't know anything about Eastman's guitar offerings. I knew about their mandolins and their great reputation, so I decided to take a chance.
Needless to say, I was floored. There was only one tiny finish ding on the top, but it can only be seen in the right light.
I am very happy with this guitar. Just wanted to share this as my first post.

Cheers!!

I am seriously considering selling a couple of guitars, and if I do this is top of my shopping list:-
