Greetings all!
Just purchased my first Eastman: AC320 CE lefty. So excited! First thing that surprised me was the difference in tone compared to my Yamaha LL16, which is also all solid with a Engleman spruce top and Rosewood back and sides. The Eastman is so much lower and warmer in tone, has incredible balance (like the highs, mids, and lows seem to resonate equally), and the quality of high notes all the way up the neck is dang impressive. Still love my Yamaha lol. It's a bright and powerful beast with awesome sustain.
So my Eastman is a used model. No pickguard, and while it is pretty without, unfortunately the previous owner did scuff up the area with his pick, so I'm thinking of putting one on.
Anyone have recommendations or guidance? I'm kind of bored with tortoise shell. Was thinking maybe I'd spend a little more and get something of good quality and maybe something somewhat eye-catching. I'm just ignorant on the subject because I've only ever had factory-installed PGs on my guitars.
Thanks and glad to be here!
