Hi all.. I wanted to share an update on my efforts to streamline creating guitar performance videos. For some time now I've been researching options to simplify my recording and mixing workflow. I think I've finally landed on a solution - the Tascam portacapture X6.

This hardware mixer/recorder will allow me to dial in compression, EQ and more for my acoustic live while recording, straight into my iphone. This should limit or eliminate the post-production mixing required compared to my current setup. 

I have the Tascam mixer on order and it should arrive Monday. Once it's all hooked up I'll create a new fingerstyle video and hopefully you all will be able to hear for yourself how if X6 helps improve audio quality right off the bat.

I'm looking to buy an ar403 single pickup version. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. B

I don't have anything to measure mine with but does anyone know the neck depth on the P/00 builds. I'd like to know the true depth dimensions as I much prefer the thicker neck my P has over the thin neck depth of my Eastman OM

Seems I see neck depth seldom if ever mentioned in brand neck profiles other then nut width, even C, MLO, V etc and this keeps me from even considering one as neck depth is a make or break decision for me.

As a rainsong owner - this is a bummer, but understandable if the owner is retiring. They make great carbon fiber guitars for dry humidity climates!

I'd almost given up on all dreads.
Owned quite a few over the years.

Lucked into a 2008 Eastman AC-520 earlier this year.
Engelmann/Mahogany dread.

The Engelmann top settles down the boom.
It's a regular deep bodied dread.

Hi y'all,

Long time lurker, first time post. A little random, but I was doing some research and was shocked that there isn't a wikipedia page for Eastman guitars. I wonder if there's a reason for that or do they just fly under everyone's radar that much? Surely Eastmans can be underrated sometimes but this just kinda confuses me. There's not even anything about Bourgeois or mandolins or nothing.

I guess i'm just wondering if anybody knows why??

I bought this guitar:

https://www.peachguitars.com/guitars/aco...e6d-tc.htm

but the seller was unable to tell me if the top is alpine spruce or not.

What are your opinions?

Many thanks!

Looking to buy one if you’re selling, please PM me, thanks!

Based on recommendations form this forum, I tried DR Rares on my AC522 tonight and WOW! Way impressed with the fullness, brightness, and full on volume. WOW! 

Not sure if the excitement comes from simply having new strings (which sound good regardless of brand) or if the DR Rares really are that good. Several people stated they were long-lasting, so we'll see what happens.

Long time lurker, finally registered, and this is my first post, so be gentle ?

I recently purchased a new E20OOSS, and while I love the tone of the guitar, the neck is just a bit too small for my aging hands. I'm wondering if the additional width of the E10OM-TC (1 3/4" on the OM vs 1/11/16" on the OO) would make a noticeable difference in the feel of the neck?

I wish I could try before buying, It's impossible due to current health issues that make it difficult, at best, to travel. So I'm at the mercy of manufacturer's specs and anecdotal knowledge gleaned from folks like all of you.

TIA for any help!
