This is me messing around with my E10SS.... a few vocal tracks... two guitar tracks.  and the shaker eggies 

I wanted to share with you guys that I have a Martin D-16GT on the way. The guitar is scratched and roughed up but I got it for $250! I know its a gamble ordering any guitar without playing it first, but really, I just couldn't pass on it. Here's the add:

The seller took $50 off the asking price because he couldn't include a case. I'll let you know how this turns out. I've found  nothing but rave reviews for this model. The guitar is set to arrive this Friday...

Like I said in  other thread, a lot has happened since then.....

So I ended up buying an E20 om - got a good deal on Reverb, etc, etc. Got it home, swapped out the pickup, and banged on it.  And banged on it. Practiced on it. Played the local open mics on it, used it for jams, fingerpicking, strumming, etc.....

 Maybe the Addy top, maybe not. I just know I like my E6 'budget' guy better. Much more responsive, warmer sound, etc. I remember PV talking about putting that tone-thing on his for awhile - like weeks, or months, or something,,, but I did not try that.

And I never loved it. I tried. Really tried. 5 different sets of strings (JP Pure nickels, D'ADD nickel-brnz, elixir nanos, JP PB's, and Ej16's. Still.... Maybe I just got a dud? Who knows....

 Anyway, I sold it..  Now of course, the guy I sold it to thinks it is the greatest thing since night baseball, so maybe I'm just not an addy guy....

And now I am Rosewood-less. But pretty gun-shy right now about buying another without trying it out... There're a few pretty good deals on Reverb right now, including a 722ce and a couple of E8 om's. But again, unplayed (by me), 'restocking charges' etc.

And here in SE NC, it'e either Martin / Fender, or Taylor/Alvarez/Yamaha. No Eastmans... Any suggestions?

Woohoo! The utterly ridiculous ban on finished instruments with rosewood in them has been lifted, so that's great news for the people who want to buy/travel internationally. No doubt it became clear that it did absolutely 0 for the preservation of rosewood as the problem is that the Chinese discoverd it as a wood for furniture and now use about 50 million cubic meters a year, whereas the entire guitar industry is around 10k (or was it 1k?) cubic meters a year.
I'm not sure where they stand on ebony fingerboards at the moment, I can only hope that piece of non-legislation will be trashed as well.

Hey guys - thought I'd share.. after extensive research I have decided to purchase the Bose S1 Pro for my live PA/Amp for acoustic guitar.  I've loved Bose gear, and this one looks excellent.  I hope to play some coffee shop acoustic gigs at some point in the future here in the Phoenix area. 

Here's a link:

Curious if there are other Bose users for live amplification?  I also considered the L1 compact.

Does anyone know if a generic es335 pickguards is a straight fit for a t386 or any where I can buy an eastman pickguards.

Hey fellas... what’s the the little symbols to the eft of each thread, and what do they mean?

This should do the job....

DT30D arrives monday to the lands of Costa Rica.

Hey my name is Max. New to the group. Ive had few Eastmans
AC122CE
E1
E10SS
And soon a DT30D.

I've playing for a 3 Years and I actually make a living out live performance turnes out I had it. I started with an alvarez. Then moved to an Oscar by Washburn by this point I didnt have a clue about bodies or tones or laminated or solid or woods. And one day I saw in a little town where I live in Costa Rica the sexy ars of an AC122CE and trade it for a drum set that I inhereted from whom was leaving the country I fell in love with the brand installed some Grover Tuners had a bridge lift made the mistake of installing a pre-amp pickup (cutting the wood of that beautiful guitar) didnt know then guys I am sorry and after Installed the Matrix Infinity Blend. Well long Story Short I fell In love with the brand but I started to learn about laminated woods and solid woods and went for the first upgrade an E1 installing a Matrix Infinity on that and the E10SS buuut.

All of them have used a Fishman Matrix infinity Blend. It has been so far the best acoustic guitar Electronics I have used it gives something like an 80% of the real sound of the guitar when on stage. Tried the LR Baggs anthem and is too plastic.
But I came across a few videos with the K&K Trinity Pro System and I am really intrigued if anyone has any experience with these.

Thanks in advance!!!
