Does anyone have a soft or hard case that would fit an Eastman E1OOSSA-LTD guitar or know where I can order one from?

Hey Gang - So I sold a couple of guitars thinking I was going to replace with an Eastman Archtop.  Maybe an AR580CE, but I'm open.  However, inventory appears to be quite low for all Eastman Dealers, not much to choose from.  Is this typical?  Do you know of any dealers with a good selection?  Thanks!

Hey folks. This is my first post on this forum but I’ve been an Eastman acoustic fan and lurker here for a while. In the past I’ve had an E1D and an E2OM. I currently have an E1SS that I bought new in 2020 and just added an E10SS/v. They are both just fantastic. They are similar in tone but just different enough to justify keeping both.

I composed and sent a post to JP Henderson's thread about his E10D-TC.  On the Home Page my ID shows as having sent the last post, but the post does not show up at the end of the thread.  I have had this happen before.   

Any ideas on why, or what I need to do differently?

Thanks!

Was looking to experiment with a 16" body archtop and Dave's had a 580 that looked clean so I gave it a whirl. Showed up today and clean is an understatement - looks like it was never played. Very comfy, my 603-15 feels small by comparison, just waiting on some Ti flatwound string to slap on her.

I actually don't like gold hardware but it works on this finish, I do love maple binding though and orange is my favorite color so it checks off more boxes than it annoys

Greetings All, 
My first post here.
Saturday I picked up an AC222CE-CLA from a local shop.
After a good setup (Added a front strap button, sanded down the bridge saddle, truss rod adj, FB conditioning).....
It now plays very well.
Can't remember the last time I had an acoustic with the strap button/jack combo on the rear.
Can anyone comment on which adaptor units they are using successfully with these Eastmans?
I'm seeing the Music Nomad one for instance out there. Would assume the metric one (MN271) would be appropriate(?)

Thanks Much-O For Any Input

The Problem!

Today I took my E10D-TC out of the case to humidify it after not playing it for a couple weeks when I noticed that the action was considerably higher than normal. The guitar had sat in it's case with a soundhole humidifier in it for about two weeks. The room stays at 65-75 degrees all year long and there is no natural sunlight in the room. So after taking the guitar out of the case I noticed a little rust on the coated G string where the soundhole humidifier sat. The strings were about 6 months old but maybe I over humidified the guitar a little bit. Humidity is about 35-40% in the room but it has rained a lot this last week. The humidity generally stays in a relatively safe range for guitars. All other instruments in the room have no issues.

Anyway, I have had this guitar for 6 years now and it has been very stable since I first got it. In fact, the neck seemed to be a little overset from the factory so I have had to use medium Martin (190lbs) tension strings and a very high saddle to keep the action from being too low. The guitar has never had high action and I have never had to tighten the truss rod because the neck has been straight since I got it.

But today I noticed that the action was a good 1.5mm higher than normal at the last fret and at the saddle.
What concerned me the most is that the guitar looked like it had a lot more belly bulge than my other Eastmans and a quite a bit more than my Martin's (which are almost flat)

Troubleshooting:

First, I noticed that there was a lot of relief in the neck so I decided to tighten the truss rod to straighten out the neck. After about a full turn of the truss rod (360 degrees to the right clockwise) the neck became straight, which brought the action down about .5mm (now it was only about 1mm higher overall than my D28 Authentic that is set up perfectly.

Secondly, I decided to do a string change and lower the overall tension on the bridge by about 15lbs (now 175lbs of tension instead of 190). This seemed to bring the action back down to about normal, but to my eye it still looks like there is more belly bulge than my other Eastmans and Martins. There seems to be a slight raised spot just behind the bridge about an inch from the low E and A strings.

What Now?

My next course of action is going to let the guitar dry out just a bit as I think I may have slightly over humidified it.

If the belly bulge doesn't go down in a week or two I am going to take it to my Eastman dealer and see what their tech thinks.

Anyway, what would you do if you were in my shoes? Do any of your Eastmans have belly bulge?

Also, I don't think the guitar is dried out because there are no fret sprout or cracks. The signs I see may point to high tension on the neck and a little too much humidity.

What do you think?

I may be able to post pic of the bulge soon.

Hey guys, I bought a new Eastman T 46B from the shop online at a great deal. When I got the guitar and played, it plays beautifully and I took it and played at church for the first time. The next time I went to play it when I plugged it in, nothing, no sound whatsoever would come out of the guitar, tried wiggling the parts the jack nothing. With the sellers approval took it to repair tech and when he went to test, it said everything worked fine. I brought it home and played it and put it away, took it out again, and the same thing happened , a little frustrating. I’m assuming there’s a cold solder joint or something going on with one of the connections. Any recommendations? Should I pull everything out through the bridge pick up and check everything or should I call Eastman warranty support or option three whatever that is?
BTW, love the guitar. Sold my Gibson 61 Warren Haynes’s ES-335 when I got this guitar. Awesome guitar when it works.
