Eastman AC420 Sunburst on ebay........
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Eastman-Rare-AC...SwEZdaM-PK

Happy Friday to all......I'm wondering what kind of impact a major peeing contest with China over tariffs would have on the price / availability of our beloved Eastmans. Has anyone heard any grownup discussions on this topic? Thoughts?

I have zero affiliation with the seller, but with less than 24 hours to go, this one could go for quite a nice price (assuming of course the price stays low):

My 2012, T386...came to me battle scarred and without pick guard.  Traded evenly a classic player jazzmaster for a classic player 60's strat then traded that for the Eastman.

Set up perfect with 11's and sound wonderful unplugged.  Still trying to dial in my electrified sound.  Currently playing through a handwired head based on a vox ac15 circuit.

I love the neck on this thing.

Roundneck / Bottleneck.... no lap style for me.

Currently have a GoldTone PBR solid mahog, spider bridge.

This was my former GoldTone GRS all metal, biscuit bridge:

I "almost" wish I didn't already have a T486 :-) Figured maple and delicately applied sunbursts seem to be gone at Eastman, get em while you can. I do not have an affiliation with the listing folks.

Here's an unusual T-486 burst with beautifully figured maple on Ebay:

I enjoyed this... Eastman sounds great. So does the gibby... consider the cost difference however.

Just saw these and watched a few videos and they sound amazing! I wish it had a 13/4" nut width, but other than that, I am in love. Has anyone here played one of these? What did you think? 

I've been on the prowl for a E20OM TC, but this has stolen my attention for the moment.

I would appreciate any experiences you might share.
