Hey guys,

In case anyone is having GAS.

Dave's Guitar Shop just listed some great used Eastman acoustics. An E1D, E2D, E2OM, and AC122-2CE. Dirt cheap too.

I got my hands on a SB55-V-SB and I thought I'd offer it here. This guitar is a prototype that Eastman used to demonstrate the guitar. It's brand new and come with full warranty and I must say sounds and feels incredible.

SOLD

Hello. I'm curious to know if anyone here owns both the E6D and E2D (Cedar version)?

If so, how do you think the E2D compares to the E6D in terms of tone? I'm considering buying both models, and would like to know what you guys think about each one. I know the E2D is cedar and sapele with open pore, versus the Sitka and hog with gloss on the E6D. I'm just curious if you think the E6D sound is superior to the E2D or just different? I know these questions are super subjective, but if you own both, which guitar do you prefer and why?

Thank you!

Jordan

Hello all , wondering how many left handed players here ?
Would you post a pic and how you found the brand .
I'll start ,
I was in a little shop and there it was El ray 2 . It was pretty beat up and needed refinish work and rewiring . It hand Seymour Duncan 59's so that was a plus . Its not my favorite Eastman to hear but the prettiest .

Hi all!
My name is Mike. I have a very nice bass rig.
It's an Ampeg SVT CL head (all tube) and an Ampeg SVT410HLF cabinet.
All made in the USA.

Looking for an Eastman Les Paul type of guitar or an SB55. Prefer sunburst.

I'm in So Cal.

Rob here. 30+ years playing/writing/recording. Just recently bought a T386 and I'm eagerly awaiting delivery. I'm a Gibson guy, through & through, but after a few years of reading about & playing a few examples, I just couldn't deny the urge anymore. 

Glad to be here, looking forward to learning a lot from y'all!

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!

Hey guys,

I've wanted to get black tuners for my AC320 for a long time now. A couple of weeks ago one of those little "spacing rings" between the machine head and the rest of the tuner broke and even though I put it back in, turning the machine head has become very difficult, which is why I wanted to use this to swap out the tuners for black ones alltogether. I also want to get new bridge pins.

Since this is where Eastman aficionados gather, I thought I'd swing buy and ask the following questions:

1) Do Eastman bridgepins adhere to certain measurements throughout the guitar lineup? I recently had to replace bridge pins on a Walden guitar and the first batch I ordered didn't have the correct angle (even though the schematics provided by Thomann said otherwise) and I had to go out and buy a 2nd one. I don't want something as simple as bridge pins replacement to turn into some sort of lottery.

2) I've never changed the tuners on a guitar, but based on this short video, it doesn't look to complicated. I can't say what kind of tuners Eastman installed on my AC320 since there is no brand name on them, but I reckon they are Ping ones as well. The screw holes are on the bottom, straight down. Could I get these tuners? And what about the "bushings"? I've browsed this forum and read that some people have encountered glued on bushings, ie ones that you can't just swap for different ones. Is this a common thing with Eastman guitars?

Maybe some of you can help me out here

Cheers!

Does anyone know the difference between the varnish finish that Eastman uses in the E10SS/v and the classic finish that it uses across multiple other models including the E1SS and the PCH?  From looking at them online, they look quite similar color wise and in appearance.  But the varnish seems to be a pricey option, while the classic finish is offered without any additional cost.  Both finishes seem to be applied by hand. Maybe the varnish finish has additional steps?

In 2012 I purchased a Taylor 812CE, which was their Rosewood/Sitka Grand Concert (small body, 000 string length). The treble E and B sound was and thin. I replaced them with mediums (with all other strings light gauge). D'Addario PB is what I was using. This worked well.

I'm going through a similar experience with my E08. I feel there is not enough tension on light (11-53s) strings and a short string length. But the bass was actually what I was most unhappy with.

Yesterday I put on a set of medium/light 11-56 80/20 and am still feeling it out ... I wanted a bit more clarity and power on the bass, but now they overshadow the trebles ...

I think perhaps PB medium set may be the way to go, but not sure if the guitar is built for it.
