For many years I held my flat pick like everyone else where the tip contacts the strings. One day I began holding it on its side so the widest part brushes the strings. I find it gives me more control and strumming/palming is enhanced. Don't recall how or why I changed. Anyone else play like this out there? Just curious.

Hi,
I found Eastman guitars because I'm looking for a semi-hollow with a wider neck - 1.75" at the nut.  It's exciting to see so many positive reviews of Eastman semi-hollows online.
I've done a bit of research and see the differences in pickups, hardware, and finish between the T386, T486, and T59, but I'm curious about the body. 
Does anyone know if they have the same body, that is same materials and the same quality woods?  Or would you expect that the more expensive T59 is constructed from higher grade wood?
Thanks,
Tim

Hi all - my latest guitar video, recorded today. A 1980's classic! Recorded on my Breedlove OM.

Thanks for watching!

When did Eastman shift the bracing forward?

Hi all,

My first post on here and great to find this site.  After years of variable Gibsons, I'm looking at buying a SB55/V and notice many of the new ones seem to now have the Faber Wraptonate bridge (with individual string saddles) rather than the previous more traditional Faber Wraparound intonated bridge.  Also the newer ones (which seem to retail at close to double the cost) appear at more of a slanted angle than the earlier ones.

To me, the earlier Wraparounds are of course more authentic to a Junior but presumably Eastman had good reason for the change.  Both bridges individually still available through Faber so it doesn't seem like there were supply issues of the Wraparounds.

Any views very much appreciated thank you :-)

As you can see in my signature im adicted to the AC line. I been thinking  of getting A 222ce because of the ovangcol back and sides but the e1OMCE has caught my eye. I dont own a Om guitar I know they are smaller but how do they compare to a AC guitar?

2022 model. The guitar sounds great and is in mint condition. It was upgraded with Gotoh SXB510 tuners and a Holter pickguard. Everything was professionally installed.

The neck is a bit too chunky for me, which is why I’m selling it. It comes with its original case and original Ping tuners. 

Price: $800+ shipping (lower 48 states only)

EDIT - price lowered from $900 to $800.

hi,

what's the biggest disparity any of you have seen between the coa date (written on in Pomona), vs the actual serial number? 

i just acquired an e8OM with a coa date of 3-24, but the serial # starts with M22XXXXXX.

two years is a large time span. 

has anyone ever inquired of eastman what it is up with that? i'm wondering if they sit in the warehouse that long, or if they ship them out later than the manufacture date. 

thanks for any input.

YOU ARE CONSIDERING A NEAR NEW EASTMAN E40OO.

I GOT THIS GUITAR JUST BEFORE I GOT A CANCER DIAGNOSIS. I HAVE HAD MONTHS OF SURGERIES AND RECOVERY AND NEED TO SELL SOME GUITARS. IT HAS SPENT THE TIME I HAVE OWNED IN ITS CASE WITH HUMIDIPAKS.

LOOKING FOR A GOOD HOME.  I PAID $2600 WOULD LIKE TO $2100.  I WOULD TAKE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL AND I WOULD PAY THE GOODS AND SERVICE FEE AND SHIP ANYWHERE IN USA FREE.

Anyone else feel like the supplied truss rod wrench does not fit properly, as in to small? Mine seems to have a lot of play, I own several Eastman guitars and they are all pretty much the same. Thanks Al
