I just bought a ac622ce that came with a k&k pure mini. when i go to eastman website the specs call for a baggs pickup. did eastman put k&ks in their  guitars at some time?

I really like Zissou post favorite guitar .
How about favorite Eastman electric? Be specific pick one lol and a pic of it .
Now the hard part , I have to sit down and play them back to back . Not really hard to do , I do it weekly

Well I feel like a trader , just picked up two telecasters .
This is the only forum I'm a member of and of course it's because of my love of Eastman . But I'm a lover of anything guitar also . I came across a left handed original custom shop ( 1987 ) telecaster 52 butterscotch in mint condition, it's the 78th guitar the FCS ever built
What do I do ? Looking around for a 186 or 84 . Then it gets worse, he will only sell as a set with a rosewood telecaster. I plugged it in but it had the original strings from the 80's still on . Lol the guy said your not going to change them are you ?
The bad news Now I have to wait to buy my next Eastman . The good news is I brought them home cleaned the frets and installed new strings . Wow it has a sweat clean sound that's unique to my ear . The switch needs to be cleaned but other then that it's great and the action is very low . I'm not done with Eastman's but the next one we'll have to wait lol. Here's a pic of RW haven't set it yet ,to happy playing 52 the

Good rythm guitar can be, well - good ...

Hey guys,

I've been part of the Eastman family since 2013 which was when I got my AC320 from a store in the Netherlands for 500 €. I've been playing it regularly ever since then.

A couple of weeks ago I caught some GAS. I really like my AC320 very much, yet I would not say no to another guitar which sounded a tad more clear and brilliant. The AC320 is quite bass heavy.

So I've started touring some local guitar/music stores here in Germany. On one hand I've run into some excellent guitars (the best among those I've played was the Furch D 34 SR - I've never seen anything quite like that mix of strong response to strumming while maintaining a clear and brilliant tone), yet on the other hand the whole experience has also been a bit disappointing. Even though I've probably played 30 to 40 different guitars already, very few of them actually sounded better than my Eastman. Hell, compared to my AC320, the Martin D28 I played yesterday sounded just dull.

Which brings me to my question: Does Eastman offer guitars within my price range (let's say up to 1000 €; if I were to really lose my mind, I guess I'd go as high as 1500 €) that could offer me the sound I'm searching for? Before I bought the AC320, I tested an E6D (because they were somewhat similar), but I haven't played any other Eastmans. I tried the AC322CE yesterday just for fun real quick and it sounded exactly like my AC320.

Any input would be appreciated.

Cheers

Playing an 0 size with a pick, I play my Bourgeois 00 with a pick, uhumm, the only thing I have in common with this guy.

What's your favorite guitar right now? Do you own it? Or are you hoping to own it?

My Collings D1T is my favorite. It's a far better guitar than I will ever deserve, and the same can be said for my Gibson J35 Fuller's. The D1 edges out the J35 just in that the D18 style guitar has always been the Holy Grail for me. The neck on the J35 is nice..a thick, full C, but the neck on the D1 is perfection. It's so comfortable, that it feels warm in your hand.

I am predicting that Bert is going to call out his CJ. What about the rest of you folks?

Interesting facts -2017 numbers - $100+ million in revenue, 700+ guitars/day, 160+K guitars/year Seems more like an ad then a interest story. Still very impressive for a company that has only been around about 45 years and in a very competitive market.

So this is a long story with a happy ending....I've posted before about ordering and waiting and waiting for the AC 630BD Jumbo. I've followed AlanSam's issues with his order until he finally got a replacement to his liking and still waiting and waiting for mine. Well while I was on vacation 2 weeks ago it finally came in to the shop I ordered it from, Victor Litz in Gaithersburg, Md. They checked it out and I had a trusted buddy and pro player check it out in the store. Perfect. They pack it and send it to me in Virginia. All good right? I open it up and it is stunning - I mean awesome. I'm tuning it up and I'm getting all kinds of buzz on the low E and G strings. Look closer and I feel some raised finish on the neck around the second fret - the neck is cracked. I nearly fell out. Turns out that where the neck lays in the case right where the small storage box is is where the crack is. It's right at the spot where the neck lays out over the box. So all the way up 95 I go to return the guitar sad as can be and knowing full well that's probably the end for another year of getting one. Victor Litz being a class act took it back, refunded my payment and analyzed the damage clearly done in transit by our pals at UPS. End of story but...by the grace of God I search the web and find 1 AC 630BD at Guitars Plus USA. I called the shop owner and bought it on the spot. Well today I got it (from UPS) and thinking here we go again but this time I got a pleasant surprise. It's a real beauty. I owe everyone some pics at some point but I'm just grateful I was able to snag one. I was told that only 8 made it to the USA (and we know that one will be going back) in this batch so I'm very very lucky.

Initial report (my take) is that it is much lighter than I expected and quite comfortable playing in the seated position. The middle just seems to sit nicely on the knee. The neck is full which I prefer and the wood is really stunning. all the woods used are clear as can be. I think the addition of the headstock inlay is a real nice touch from the early models that were introduced. I'm not a huge fan of the coated strings they come with but I'll switch over to the Retros I prefer sometime later. I can only compare it to the ex Collings SJA Cut that I had and while the maple may not be as clean and figured as the Collings I can tell you it's pretty damn close. Stunning and a value as well.

Anyway - all's good in the house right now and I'll work on some pics as time permits.  Cheers!

I doubt I could sneak this one pass the Mrs, but damn is that one beautiful guitar. Also I just traded an old Fender Blues Jr amp for a Fishman Loudbox Mini so I don't even have a suitable amp. The price includes shipping and does seem very attractive.
