I had the action on my new AC722 lowered by my dealer when I bought it. Felt good in the store but now that I have put numerous hours of playing the guitar the frets are hurting my fingers. I came from playing a nice Larivee LV09 with well worn frets that have been leveled a few times but I never recall this issue with that guitar when I bought it new. It's the actual height of the frets on the Eastman that bother my fingers and yes they do 'stick up' a heck of lot more than my old guitar but I expected that. So I am tinkering with the idea of actually taking the frets down a bit and seeing if that gives me more comfort. Also what i do not know is it the 'style' of the frets and maybe i would be more comfortable with a different brand of fret. So my question to this forum is if anyone else experienced this problem? I've been playing guitars my whole long life and never felt this before.

Hello all,
I just got a used SB59 that was sold as a /v.  To date the only finish I have experience with is poly so I'm not one hundred percent sure but I'm thinking this is poly and a TV model.  I have over a month to return it so considering my options. Including pic of some scratches as I think that's probably a solid way to id the finish.
Thanks.

What would be the minimum string height I can get away with on the E10 OOSS? Action feels a little hard.

Can someone tell me the body construction and possible age of a Eastman AC122CE, with a serial of 110915631......TIA

Do you own more than one type of guitar with the same woods?

Right now I have a Martin D-41 (sitka/rosewood), and I have an opportunity to pick up an Eastman 
e20d-tc (adi spruce/rosewood) and Im' wondering if it's even worth it???

I'd prefer mahogany for a different sonic palette, but I"m wondering how others approach this issue?
Do you (or have you ever) had multiple guitars that are similar?

Eastman e20d-tc:

SOLD.......Unfortunately I can no longer play any nut wider than 1-3/4". Too difficult with my arthritis. I bought this guitar brand new. Plastic still on pick guard. Mint condition, set up and played about 2 hours. I was hoping I could get my hands in shape but it won't happen. Sweetwater gets 1299 plus tax when and if they get an SB model.

I need to net $900. I'm buying a $900 used 1-11/16 nut electric 12. Go figure...
Anyway, $900 plus freight. Great deal if you are looking for a great sounding 12. Check them out online. Again this is like new with an amazing luthier set up. You can see the guitar as it is posted on Sweetwater used guitar site. Only one listed.


SOLD......a trade in.

I just bought a used one off of Reverb...and just noticed it has dot inlays. Is that normal? I actually think I prefer it, I just want to make sure I'm not getting duped. It had a COA pic and it says it was made in 24.

I recently purchased a previously enjoyed Eastman T386 as well as Seymour Duncan Antiquities. I’ve read on various forums, including this one, that the Eastman T386 already has CTS pots, capacitors, and a Switchcraft jack. Is there a way to swap the pickups without having to remove the existing electronics?

Thanks in advance,
Dom
