Hi all, new member here but I've been on the AGF and the UBGF (NEEDaPSD) for years.

After many years of acoustic-only playing, I got the bug for electric and that's all I've been playing for the last couple of years. Until that is, a couple of weeks ago when I picked up my E20OM. I forgot how great that guitar sounds and I instantly got the acoustic bug back. I've owned many Eastman over the years but at the moment I only have an E20-OM & AC-822. I just sold an E20-OO a couple of weeks ago because the nut width and string spacing were just too wide for me. Likely because I've only been playing my Strat lately. It was probably a bit hasty because it was a great sounding guitar. Very full and resonant and a much bigger sound than you would expect from a double O.

I was out of the Eastman loop for the last two years so I was pleasantly surprised to find out about all these new models they have out. The ones that caught my eye were the new E1-OO & E1-OOSS . 
The E1-OOSS was hard to find but I managed to snag one and it should be here on Friday. 
I'm hoping it has the sound of me E20-OO but with the narrower neck and nut. It would have been perfect with a 1-3/4" nut width but they only come with 1-11/16 so hopefully, it won't be too narrow. 

Has anyone played the E1-OOSS ?
If so did it sound small and boxy or bigger than you would think from the size?
Was the nut width too narrow and a deal breaker for anyone?

Sorry for the long first post!
I'm happy to be aboard and glad to see a few old faces from the UBGF.

I'm new to the Eastman fold, having just picked up a minty used AC520 that I'm really enjoying.  Wasn't looking for a dread but this was too good of a deal to pass up, and it has been an eye opener for sure.

So, now I'm asking, did/does Eastman make any 00's with Engleman top rather than Adi?

Just wondered if anyone has one of these (Eastman ac222ce OV) and what they think of it.  Been looking at them online, but can't find much in the way of reviews.

Hi all -

I have heard your feedback and am working to improve the text editor on EGF to make posting photos a little easier, as well as other edit abilities. It is taking me a bit longer than expected, as the new format appears to have a compatibility issue with the advanced editor I am wanting to enable. So - I am on it, but timing is TBD while I work through the compatibility issue.

Cheers!

I just installed an LMI Tor-Tis pickguard on a new E10SS. Mostly it looks great, except the silvery sheen of the 3M adhesive keeping it from being clear and hiding the wood grain.

It has been many years since I installed a pickguard with this stuff and I don't remember... does that silvery sheen effect go away on its own, or do I need to put the guitar in the sun or some other heat source like a hair dryer, or am I stuck (pardon the expression) with it forever?

Since it's 2+ years old, I'm guessing this has already been shared on the other Eastman forum. But I only stumbled upon it last night.

Very interesting (and honest) Eastman content about halfway through.

I picked up an Eastman E8OM this summer while I was in Maine this summer, now I'm back in Apollo Beach FL. and I need a recommendation for getting a good setup. Thanks, Bruce.....

Hi everyone,

In my initial post, I mentioned that I bought a T386 RD because the T59v I was after was sold.

I am really really pleased with the T386 RD but can't get that T59v out of my head.

Can anyone, who has played both together, give me the score on the difference in feel and sound. Yes, I know
that the pickups in the T386 RD are underwhelming but I am wondering more about the acoustic difference,
if there is any, between the two?

I am thinking that there might be a sonic difference between the shellac/violin finish of the T59v and the nitro
of the T386 RD so if you have played them both, maybe you can tell me. The feel is different for sure.

Maybe I will need both

Thanks
