New Guitar Day!
Some years ago I read in a guitar magazine about Eastman Guitars and got bad GAS... but No money. So last week I managed to sell three paintings and sudden I had enough to buy a T486-RD! I have played it a couple of days now... and this guitar is such a beauty! Sounds so Good, quality is outstanding and the looks! I am already planning next Eastman buy...

Hello all!
I am new to six string guitars but not to musical instruments, as I have played bass guitar since 1978. I always wanted to learn acoustic guitar but never purchased one until last week.

Before guitar, I actually wanted to learn Mandolin. Learning about various mandolin models, options and manufacturers lead me to Eastman. From Eastman's website I learned about their unique offerings for Acoustic guitars.

After trying different guitar sizes (jumbo's, dreadnaughts, concerts, etc), at local guitar stores, I carefully concluded that the E20OOSS would fit the bill.

When my guitar arrived, I was completely blown away in regards to the sheer beauty of the instrument. Felt so right in my hands. Something this elegant deserves my full commitment.

So, for you more experienced acoustic players, would you recommend that I keep a humidifier in the case? I live in Southern California.

It arrived today, beautifully packed and in perfect shape, a new E20D-TC from Blues Angel.  My second purchase from them. 

Simply lovely guitar, but you folks already knew that. I almost bought a Martin D-18 but in the end could not justify the cost.  I did buy a stunning Takamine P4DC first; a truly stunning guitar with a to die for amplified tone.  It has a tube preamp inside the guitar. I did not like the neck or the acoustic tone, it ships back for a full refund.

The Eastman is a keeper.  Next will be deciding on a pickup system.

Hello all,
Proud second owner of an Eastman E10D. Boy does it sing. Not so impressed with the Ping machine heads though and looking at changing them out. Guitar is around 3 years old I am told. 
Anyone have experience of changing the pings out for Gotohs and did the bushings need changing or can I just slot the Gotoh SE700s into the Ping Bushings?
Concerned that some had issues changing out the bushings as they were firmly glued in place.
Cheers

Anyone have a favorite clear pick guard? I have a sunburst OM and don’t want to hide the top at all

This is getting a little ridiculous and no I am not a dealer . Just got the long awaited SB55/v LP Jr. Its amazing, big ole hunky neck just the way I like them. This one is 6.6 lbs so very resonant. Kicks the crap out of the G branded version of this.

I've had an E20-OM for a couple of years. I love it, other than the nut width is just a tad cramped for me. I recently bought an E2-OM cedar top and it feels better. I measured it with the calipers. The E20OM is 1.75" and the E2OM is 1.78". I know that is a minuscule difference, but it's just enough to feel better for me. Maybe they widened the string spacing just a tad? I heard somebody else mention this too, that the newer ones were just a bit wider.

Has anybody else noticed this with the newest guitars to come out? If it is across the board, that'd be good news for me.

I know you all would appreciate this... I think I prefer my e10D to my D18 standard. Both 2016. It may be I'm just not happy with the strings I put on the D18 this go around. I put uncoated Martin Authentic pb mediums. I usually did the old lifespan pb mediums . I wonder if I'm just not liking the new formula.

I also put retro lights on the E10D. Before it seemed too shrill in the high end and more overtones than the D18 with PBs but seems the retros dried up the sound just right.

The fact is, the E10D was always way more responsive and louder than the D18. We'll see. I may end up letting the Martin go and maybe see about an Eastman E10OM-tc. Would love opinions on those. Will the bass be too lacking for me? That is the question.

Anyway, that's my confession. I wouldn't dare post this on AGF. Could just be a string issue. That's entirely possible...

Two great voices. Song a bit sentimental and clichéd? Yes. Affecting? To me :-
