Eastman E22ss/v-SB
Eastman E20OM-MR-TC

hi,

someone locally has one of these for sale. i went and looked at it today. i won't be buying it. it is pretty beat up. a couple things were head scratchers, though. 

a) the headstock cover was really light wood. b) the herringbone was really lightly colored, not a pronounced black and white. c) the b&s were really lightly stained as well. 

and d), the print on thre label was nearly worn off. i could only make out the faintest part of the eastman logo. none of the serial # or anything else. 

the case looked original and he had the coa, but with no readable label, i couldn't verify its provenance. 

i came home and searched 2013 e8om, and found this one that was for sale at some site a while back.

is anyone familiar with this peculiar version of the e8om? i've never seen one like this before.

I live for part of each year in Poland, and this year I brought along an E20OM that I love and will be leaving it here in our condo to keep its E20D cousin company. I don’t want to be without it, but this year it got lost for a couple of days in transit, so I’m going to let it stay behind and buy another one as soon as I get home. Has anyone here posted a video comparison of the E20, the E20-TC and the E20-MR-TC? Or can anyone just share some impressions with me? I’d really appreciate it.

As anyone who has read some of my posts knows, I buy and sell A LOT. Sometimes too much and what is an excellent guitar gets sold. That would apply to the E6D-TC Alpine I re-bought yesterday. Here is the original post - https://www.eastmanguitarfans.com/Thread...-tc+alpine

For me I find the limited edition Alpine version a nice balance between Sitka and Adirondack. I am very happy to have the second biggest mistake I have made in selling rectified. Now if I can get a certain person in Florida to decide my beloved E40OM isn't quite what they want, I will have the biggest selling mistake overturned. I am still working on the concept of patience. Newer/different isn't always better.

Hi all,
Anyone had any experience of top cracking or forced relic? I've seen nitro easily cracked with a simply heating and compressed air...

It seems to be the Nitro is not common (to me anyway) to other brands of guitars I've had with a Nitro finish... and contains a plasticizer of some kind?

Has anyone seem any older tops start to relic naturally? I can't see this top ever showing and signs of cracking to be totally honest...

Anyone? 

Cheers

Trying to decide between a Eastman AC422 and  Taylor 414ce.  Never played an AC422, hard to find in area so I would have to order one.  May just breakdown and buy used 814CE.   Need an electric/Acoustic with cut-away.  Main non-elec go to now is 89 HD28 and 76 Yari/Alverez.  Need some feed back please. Mostly 70's rock, occasional Praise and Worship.

This used to be my guitar. Gotoh tuners, Schatten HFN pick-up and Holter pickguard. I almost bought it back but I really need to be decreasing the head count. The listing says no shipping, but I am willing to help someone if they want to buy it. I use Pirate Shipping and guitars have been about $65 or thereabouts. The current owner's name is Dave. I have done 2/3 deals with him. Nice guy.

Hi all ... I am in the process of taking steps to record my fingerstyle guitar playing in a more professional and structured way. I'm curious to hear from others in the community about their experiences with recording their performances.
 Do any of you regularly record your playing? If so, I'd be very interested to learn more about the digital audio workstation (DAW) software you prefer to use for your recordings.
Personally, I have been using Reaper as my DAW of choice up to this point. I've found it to be a decent tool for the most part, but I am a rookie. I've also been considering purchasing Logic Pro for my Mac setup, as I've heard many positive things about its capabilities for recording and producing high-quality audio.
I would appreciate any experiences and insights regarding the DAW software you use for your acoustic guitar recordings. What do you like or dislike about the specific DAW you've chosen? How has it helped (or hindered) your workflow and the quality of your recorded performances?

Wow this thing is a cannon with tone. Definitely has a growl to it that I love. 

Was impressed with my AC522-CE at first, my I'm coming back around to the E10 non-TC top.

Eastman's build quality is out of the park.
