I'm vacationing in Branson, MO this week and I'm gonna go visit The Acoustic Shoppe this week. If anyone wants me to play a guitar that they've been eyeing from their shop, just lemme know and I'll report back my experience with it. I love visiting TAS, always a great time.

Hello

Do new Eastman dreads, such as the E6D-TC and E10D-TC, come pre-drilled with a hole in the saddle slot to put a piezo element through?

Thanks

John

Not an electric guitar player (not yet at least). Thought it a good string test video. If not already seen, enjoy.





Cheers

Wishing all the EGF members a wonderful holiday, no matter which one you celebrate.  As we were driving around the neighborhood last night, I turned the corner, saw this, and thought of our own Steve Leigh (aka Sleigh).  Of course, that bearded guy in the red suit got in my way, just as I was taking the photo out of my car window.

Cheers, everyone!

Just picked my new SB56 gold top with the Lollar P90s.  This is my fourth Eastman and my first P90 guitar.  I have to say I am loving this guitar and these pickups. The character and dynamics are next level.

I played it in the shop and bought it soon after.

Hi folks! So I continue to absolutely adore my AC322CE-SB. It's just a phenomenal guitar. Really, all I need...except...

I've just joined an acoustic trio. Me, another guitarist/singer, and a percussionist/singer. Gigs are already getting booked. As a retired IT professional, I generally insist on having backup systems for everything, since I've seen so many weird failures. So, I need a second acoustic guitar, because I don't want to gig without a backup, even knowing that the necessity to use it is unlikely. Don't want to spend more than necessary for a backup, though, which leads me to the PCH-GACE.

Who owns a PCH of any size and can chime in on how they are? Looking to see if one will work well, play well, and still sound good, or if I should spring for a 122 or 222 to get all solid wood. 

Thanks in advance!

Awesome guitar. I already have one but someone should grab this one.

I have nearly stated for an E8 OM-TC as my next guitar.

On reverb I saw some E8 that seems to be alpine spruce because of the milky look of the top instead of the straight grain (that’s what a guy on acousticguitar forum told me).

So alpine or sitka ? Which one would you choose and why ?

A little warm up piece I do to get the blood flowing and stretch the digits before playing.
Happy xmas everyone!

It's not the first time I've noticed this but currently Dave's Guitar Shop has a lot of used 2022 model Eastman guitars, both acoustic and electric. It seems odd that they have that many current year used Eastman's. What gives? Are they factory seconds? Does Dave's have an inside line with Eastman on current year "used" models. Something seems not quite right. I just sent a note to Dave's asking about this and I'm hoping to learn what the situation might be.
