Well, not really teeth...

I was talking with my luthier the other day about my new guitar (E6OM - sitka/mahogany) and he said "Yeah, it seems that as guys get older they start leaning towards mahogany more than rosewood."

I thought to myself "I resemble that remark."

Do you notice this, too? And if so, why do you think that is?

I have an Eastman ACTG1 (all solid Sitka/Sapele, no electronics) on the way to me from Blues Angel Music. It ships in a nice soft case, but does anyone know if there is a HARD case made for this guitar? I know there are 3/4 size cases made for the Martin DJR. Would that fit?

So, has anyone ever encountered one of these? There's one for sale near me, it's nice, but even when I Google I don't get hits. I've sent a message to Eastman but didn't hear back yet. It looks amazing, flamed mahogany... delicious.

Edit: Just for clarity, E10 OO SS, not E1 OO SS.

If I lived in a really guitar-hostile environment I would definitely buy a carbon fibre guitar. This vid features Carl Bludts (aka known as Daddystovepipe), a favourite guitarist of mine. I believe he payed for the Emerald guitar himself, so you are getting an objective review.

Hi. Ive just bought an eastman PCH GACE1 which i absolutely love. Is anyone able to give me some advice regarding upgrading my tuners? I use a lot of open tuning amd have noticed that i have to put more effort into accurately tuning than other guitars i have. I have no experience of changing tuners but i love my eastman so much i want to give it some tlc and improvements where i can. Many thanks

Looks beautiful.  These usually don't last long, so for anyone looking for a slope shoulder.

Hi all. Ordered a T59/v in the middle of January. Any idea on what the back order wait time currently is?

Hi all, first post here. I have been after a T59 for a while now and am watching one on eBay. It is a 2018 model with the older, larger headstock. As I understand it, Eastman changed the design in 2019 so that the G and D strings weren’t resting on the B and A string posts. I can see from the photos that the strings do indeed rest on the string posts. My question is obvious I suppose: how detrimental is the old design to tuning, tone and the overall playing experience? Thanks very much for any replies.

Alright you Eastman fans which one would you get? An no, I wouldn't get both. I already have an Eastman E1SS-CLA-LTD and an E10SS/V. Also, I've had an '18 AC322CE so I'm familiar a bit with Eastmans. In addition, I have a Blueridge BR-140A and a Yamaha A5R. The Yammie is a bit quiet for a Dread. It's better amplified than not. I'd like a rosewood Dread than's louder. I like Dread's. Don't have have any 'little' guitars. Not acoustics anyway. Thanks, Bob
