SOLD

I’m selling my E20D-TC.   It is perfect other than the very slightest scratch on the neck by the headstock.  It can’t be felt at all. A spring loaded capo slipped out of my hand when I was removing it.


The guitar has a custom Taylor pickguard and of course the stock hard shell case.

I’m selling because I wanted a Dreadnought with a pickup and I decided I did not want to start drilling out the end pin to accommodate a pickup so I purchased a Dreadnought with a built in pickup and preamp. 

They sell for $1,700 currently and I will sell mine for $1,275. That includes shipping to the lower 48

I located in Santa Cruz for local pickup and save shipping

Title kind of says it all. You are stuck on a desert island. No electricity. You get one Eastman to keep you company. One. 

So which one's it going to be?

(You may nickname it "Wilson" if you so desire)

anyone know if they are black plastic or ebony?

I spoke with a possible teacher yesterday who suggested that I put 11's on the 422.  Part of his logic was to use my E6OM for alternate tunings and the 422 for easier playing.  Any thoughts? I'm not sure about strings on Acoustics and how using other than the usual applies.

They have an interesting site and sell components as well as complete acoustic and electric guitars.  I am guessing maybe they are pretty new, because there does not seem to be many reviews on their products.

This one in particular caught my eye:

On the surface, it seems like a good value.

Hi folks,

Long time lurker here. This is my first thread.

I just picked up a used E10D. 2014, and a lefty. I’m still getting used to it, so I won’t comment yet, but I have a question: Where can I get bridge pins for an Eastman, or at least what size are they so I can order a set from one of the usual suspects?

When looking at this guitar in the store, the pins were noticeably uneven and a couple were cocked. The holes and slots do not look worn to the naked eye, but the pins are fairly loose and a few of them tilt. The guy at the store suggested that maybe the jig was off when the holes were drilled, but that is hard to confirm without making some fine measurements. Maybe the pins have been replaced with pins of a different taper (which I also can’t measure). Anyway, if I can find known correct pins, I’d like to try them. They aren’t nearly as snug as those on my Martin.

The rest of the guitar is in Excellent condition. I only found 2 minor nicks, and the case looks like it was never used.

Thanks for your help!

Hello to all.  New to the forum; first time poster.

I recently purchased a 2017 AC822CE. The saddle leans forward so I removed the strings and saddle does not fit snuggly in the bridge, but it appears to be original with a 12” radius curve?? It’s the correct width, but is too thin.

Do any of you know where I can get a correct replacement?

Thanks

Hello everyone. How are you on this fine day? Hope everyone is healthy and happy!

Its been 32 days since i became guitarless (wow,its like im in a anonymous alcoholics meeting ) due to selling my E1OM and buying a E6D-TC that im desperately waiting to arrive. I will not describe the choice problem when i was choosing the right guitar for me. Its like pokemon - "got to catch them all". So it was a pretty hard choice.

Anyhow. 32 days is a lot, im starting to feel the need to play on anything that has strings on it + i will need a camping guitar that  will take during travels. No way im going to take my precious (E6D-TC) on those trips.

I do realize that there is a million choces here. But id like to hear community members experience with this. What would be your substitute guitar choice with a budget of 350$?  Like something you are able to take camping or throw in the boot of your car without regret.

Thank you!

In the not too distant future I'm going to be looking for a teacher.  I recently switched from electrics to acoustics and want a teacher for two reasons.  First to explore fingerstyle playing. I started out playing fingerstyle a long time ago and want to refocus and get some solid direction.  I don't have a specific genre in mind but am open to new influences.  Second to put some structure back in my practice routine.  I've learned and forgotten so much over the years and late in life here want to maximize my learning and growth as a player.  

Any suggestions?  Thanks!

I didn't want to hijack Tim's recent thread on a similar theme - so:-
