Hello
I want to get an Eastman but no new or used ones around. A used one just showed up. So what is up with the Ltd model? Only made in 2013? Nut width?
Anyone have experience with this model?
It is 4 hours away so looking for input before making the journey to try it out. Price seems ok if in condition described.
Thanks

Hi all - here's my latest recording.  I wish I was playing a Eastman Cabaret model.. (maybe someday!) however it's a Cordoba GK Studio Negra.  





Recorded with my new Spire Studio - which I am absolutely THRILLED with!

Thanks for watching

Tim

Someone buy this so I don't!  This is an incredible deal on a brand new guitar.  I talked with him and they're stopping selling Eastman Guitars so this got moved to the used section with a cut in price even though it's still brand new.  Someone will really enjoy this deal!

Thanks to Pura Vida for convincing me to pass it along!  I don't need it right now as much as I want to pull the trigger.

Folks

Was quite surprised to see these models out in the wild (Reverb) already....

Couldn‘t copy the Reverb link....see pictures.....

Serial nr is interesting, starts with ‚M‘ .....

Anyone seen a Sitka TC Model already?

Cheers
Mitch

Interesting guitar. Too similar to my Larrivee 12 fret SD-50 tobacco burst to be of any serious interest to me. If it were 50% cheaper I would like to own it for a while and then move it on.

Since the current outdoor temperature in Southwest Missouri is akin to living on the sun, today seemed like a good day to fine tune the setup on a PCH 3.
The stock Ping tuners have been swapped out for Schaller's, oversized ebony pins sanded down to fit while maintaining the larger head on the pins. Red Tortiloid pickguard replaced the stock black guard and brought the action down at the saddle by a tad over a 64th of an inch. A fresh set of D'Addario medium nickel bronze strings and all is right.
A good day by any measure.

Just noticed on the Eastman site that the 40 OM price has increased by $500.00.

Glad I got my order in beforehand!

I attached my new pickguard that Taylor Mullins made for me.  It is beautifully made.  The process of the pickguard removal, glue removal and pick guard attachment went well. 

I love it!   The only problem with it.....I don't play any better

I have an opportunity to aquire an E10D-TC at a very reasonable price. I already own an E10D and rate it as my favorite among my fifteen guitars. My question is whether the "TC" is worth buying another guitar. My E10D is a few years old and has opened up nicely. It is the one guitar I would keep if I could only have one. I don't have the opportunity to play the TC first as Eastman guitars are not widely available here. So, what say you who own or (at least have heard) the E10D-TC?

Lately, on different forums, there appears to be an uptick in guitar shipping issues. 

Guitars arriving damaged, guitars misplaced/vanishing!!

Kind of unsettling when you’re awaiting shipment of a guitar across country! Oh well, it is what it is.
