I have been working on Under the Double Eagle. It's a flatpicking standard, but I had no idea that it was a march written by Wagner.

In case anyone is in the market, The Acoustic Shoppe has a gorgeous new 20D-TC. Thought maybe an EGFer should take a look. I don't believe they last long.

Really liking the Eastman E6, E8, E10, E20OMs and the blueridge br-43, br-63, br-143 and br-163. Let me know if any floating out there!

Thanks!

Just received this one from Sound Pure.




I am amazed at the resonance and balance of the sound. Obviously the workmanship and attention to detail are superior and well known. I was attracted to the carved maple top and mahogany back, sides and neck. A perfect combo! After owning two 339s and a 335 LC, I am very pleased that this 185 is what I've been looking for all along.
Any suggestions for caring for the nitro finish?
I am mildly concerned that since I anchor my pinky on the top I will harm the finish.
Thanks. Glad to be an Eastman owner and player.

I bought this Tortis dark guard D28 from Guitar Gallery a couple years ago, and it never made its way onto a guitar top. The price is $30 including PayPay and shipping in the US.

You can see pictures of it here. (Sorry, I can't post pictures.)

Thanks!

Just a couple great blues players playing off each other. Stumbled upon this when I found the album TajMo on Spotify. Interesting discussion between the songs as well

About two and a half years ago years ago I mothballed my classical nylon stringed guitar to explore the possibilities of steel string acoustics. This vid features one style, flatpicking, which I aspire to become proficient in (the Maybelle Carter style is another, and blues and … ha ha). The flatpicking in this vid is not '150 notes/minute' virtuosic, but is very effective for that - quintessential dread IMO. The guitar isn't too bad either (and no ZI you can not take it home with you - its been sold ha ha).

I have a heritage prospect , I got it on a trade . I had to do a fret job on it and clean it up and rewire . I upgraded all the hardware including the tuners . Luckily it had Seymour Duncan pickups in it already alnico neck and Jeff Beck , little savings there . Also added a LP pickguard , it just came out great , It's a 1988 , just not sure what to do with it , I really don't like the neck , just to thin .

I paid for another Eastman, a new t486 thru Reverb, and after 4 days there was no shipping notice. I contacted the well know store and they fell all over themselves apologizing because they sold the guitar off the floor.

They said they could drop ship me the same model from Eastman or do a full refund. I opted for the refund and they did that almost immediately.

Fast forward a few days, my family tells me there is a guitar box from Eastman on the porch. Sure enough, a guitar I did not pay for is on my porch.

I open the box and a beautiful sun burst T486 is there. I played it and loved everything except 3 or 4 fret edges where they meet the binding on e high E side were raised just enough to create a sharp edge....My other Eastman had perfect fret ends. This is not something that can be just filed away like a poorly dressed fret end.

I called the shop, they were embarrassed again and thanked me for being honest and notifying them about my “free” guitar and they sent me a return label.

Crazy
