Great price on a E6OME- LTD in Kentucky
Posted by: PeteD - Forum: For Sale / Trade and Online Deals - Replies (2)

Just noticed a 2014 Eastman E6OME-LTD on FB Marketplace in Blaine KY for $540.  No affiliation and no knowledge of the condition.  Thought if anyone relatively close is interested I'd flag it for someone!

  Where to go if you have problems with your guitar
Posted by: Day - Forum: Eastman Acoustic Guitars - Replies (4)

Sorry I am new on this forum and hope I am at the right place… I spotted people with a problem that looked like mine.
I have an acoustic Eastman. It is not OK… while it is new.
The shop where I bought it does not longer sell Eastman The shop owner tells me he does not know how to help.
Eastman says lifetime guarantee…
I live in the Netherlands where can I get help!
It is no small problem!
And it is not a really cheap guitar either… 

Is there an importer for Europe or The Netherlands?

PLEASE PLEASE help!

I love this video: A great song, a wonderful guy, and what has to be my favorite acoustic tone I've ever heard.  I don't know exactly what it is about that sound, but I can't get enough of it.

  GHS Vintage Bronze
Posted by: Treenewt - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (14)

I put a set of GHS Vintage Bronze lights on my E8OM-TC on the 1st of December, 2021.  I have had this guitar in CGCGCD for much of that time, but have also put her in DADGAD and Standard quite often.  I keep wanting to change these strings, but every time I get it out to do so, they still sound so good I leave them on!  

I'm not one of those folks who hates changing strings.  I would change every 3-4 weeks normally, but these strings are surprising me. They're still clear across all registers, and the low E and A haven't lost any of their quality of note (I notice it there before anywhere else on a set).  I want to try a set on my Larrivee to see if I like them as much on mahogany as on rosewood.  Because on this little axe, they just work!

  Schertler Lydia Active EQ
Posted by: neilca - Forum: Eastman Acoustic Guitars - Replies (3)

I just bought a used AC320CE and found out it has a Schertler Lydia Active EQ system in it. Never heard of one of these. Are these any good? I figured the twin dials in the sound hole are tone and volume. What is the third dial on the bottom of the sound hole?

  Eastman 1 3/4 Nut?
Posted by: Charlieb - Forum: Eastman Acoustic Guitars - Replies (14)

You folks keep up with specs much more than I and I'm disappointed in sites I've looked at trying to find an Eastman I may like that has an 1 3/4" nut.

Here's kinda where I'm at. I have the E10 OM and I love it. For whatever reason (just gas probably) I'm wanting another Eastman close in size to my OM but tonally different. Not feeling anything darker sounding. Heck I don't know what I'm after ha just one close in OM size and tonally different complimenting my E10 OM. I don't want one that is basically the same tonally or I might as well just stick with the one I love oh and it's got to have a 1 3/4" nut...what's the deal with all the 1 11/16" jeeze and I definitely don't want a big D as I'm in no volume competitions here on my couch and have no plans to be in one.

I keep having "and Oh moments" lol and oh no cutaway

Any suggestions?

  Decisions & Trade-Offs
Posted by: Pura Vida - Forum: Eastman Acoustic Guitars - Replies (4)

I've been very tempted to order the upcoming E20D-MR-TC, but decided that I need to make room before I can justify another guitar into the house, especially a Rosewood dread.  In another thread, I mentioned that I was considering selling my 2016 E40D to a friend, who's been begging me to sell it for 2-3 years.  But aside from his interest, the big reason for considering this guitar for sale is b/c I have two of this same model (and have kept both for 4+ years b/c there are differences in their sound, feel).

Today, I began to think about things differently.  There are two E40D guitars, but I play both of them more than I do my E20D or E8D.  The E20D is a cannon, but it doesn't get the attention it deserves b/c of it's bling-y siblings, and my ear has grown away from Rosewood/Sitka and in favor of Adi and Alpine.

So, why would I sell a guitar that I play (even if it has a twin), when I could sell two guitars that I play less frequently for about the same combined price?  I don't have any attachment to those two guitars and wouldn't regret selling them, if it meant bringing home the E20D-MR-TC.

I just played all four tonight (just a song or two each), and for the first time, feel like I have a plan that will work for me.

  AC108ce Ltd or E3DE
Posted by: RCCjr - Forum: Eastman Acoustic Guitars - Replies (4)

I have an opportunity to trade my used AC 108 ce Ltd for a new E3DE.  I like my AC 108 but just don't love it.  Has anybody played the E3 and have an opinion or review of it.  I would play the E3 before trading but don't want to waste my time if some of you have had negative experiences with the guitar.

  Eastman AC822ce 2021 Model w/arm bevel and soundport - $1700
Posted by: syd2aussie - Forum: For Sale / Trade and Online Deals - No Replies

2021 Eastman AC822ce - Arm Bevel, soundport - LR Baggs Anthem  $1700 net to me, shipping and paypal fees to buyer.

Mint condition other than a few super light tiny scratches on back (see Reverb photos). Essentially an handmade guitar that is set up perfectly and sounds great in addition to being quite beautiful. An incredible quality guitar at a bargain basement price! The quality of construction is on a par if not better than the Taylor's I've owned. Playability is excellent.

I own too many Eastmans. I recently purchased an AC630 jumbo which is amazing so this one needs a new home.

  E8OM-TC
Posted by: GK34 - Forum: Eastman Acoustic Guitars - Replies (4)

Hello Eastman Fans,

I have not posted much here, but I love Eastman guitars and have read many of the threads here. I am finally in the market for an OM and have narrowed things down to the E8OM-TC. Has anyone had experience with both the Sitka version and Alpine version? 

I really like the dark Sitka tops visually, yet I would probably go with the Alpine if there was a significant difference in the clarity with fingerstyle playing. Neither of these are available locally, so I cannot try them prior to buying. I had an E20OM a while back, and the main reason that I ended up selling it was pretty tight sounding and I found myself wishing it sounded warmer especially when strumming. Had I been more patient and kept it, it would probably sound great today. Anyway, I am thinking a TC model will probably eliminate these concerns, and I am just debating between Sitka and Alpine.

Thanks in advance for any input!
