Im interested in both of these.. you guys need to talk me into one of them.. was really wanting this for my living room.. the clips of the parlor sounds great.. just a little concerned about the neck size.. but I'm used to a classical sized neck from my youth 

the bigger one is about $400 more

what do you guys think ?

Not sure about the 'U' neck profile but this is one uber cool guitar! https://tfoa.us18.list-manage.com/track/...3420c33b88
What do you think?

Just got my first Eastman (E1D deluxe) and it sounds super tight. I’d like to get it opened up sooner than later because I love everything else about it. I got it about a week ago and play for about an hour a night. I know it will take months/years to get it to really open up. Has anyone used a tonerite to get theirs to open up sooner. Just looking for some thoughts and opinions

Hi , I have an Eastman E 20 D. Yes , I have contacted Eastman with the serial number trying to determine it's age . It's a hand written number . They said they have no idea and ask me to send them photos of the serial number and a few pictures of the guitar which I did . They said there at a loss as to the year . The number is , just four digits (6885) I'm wondering if someone here has a E 20 D with a close number that they purchased new and what year it was purchased or , any other info . Thanks .

Solid Sitka spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides. Grover open gear tuners, k and k pick up. Willing to let it go for $1,000, listed on reverb for $1,100. Great tone and volume. Only reason I’m selling is I need the cash. Bought a Eastman E1D to replace it

Just ordered my first Eastman guitar, I’ve been a fan for a while but never pulled the trigger until now. Found one with some good looking bear claw on the top and the previous owner swapped out the original pick up for a k and k. It arrives on Wednesday and I’m pretty excited. The acoustic shoppe favs about the fit and finish and tone. What should I expect, I know they really hype the Eastmans over Yamaha and Blueridge etc. currently own a Furch D 30 SM I have for sale to make the purchase, if anyone is interest in it let me know. I’ll post pics of the Eastman when it arrives

Hi all! I'm deciding between a used Ep1 Bluesmaster with the Adirondack top v/s a new regular Ep1 with the Thermo Cured Sitka top. What's the difference in the top woods? Does the Thermo Curing make the Sitka top competitive with the Adirondack top? I know this is all subjective, just looking for advice.
Thanks!

Strawberry Fields and vid:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiv7BdjPmLA
I came across the vid below on the making of the Beatles' Strawberry Fields Forever. It was the first song recorded during the Sgt Pepper's session and released as a single (along with Penny Lane) but not included on the album - a decision later regretted by producer George Martin who had pushed for its exclusion. I find it interesting how the Beatles and production team grappled with the limited four track technology of the day to realize Lennon's vision.

Health Warning: Geeks Only - the cut finally released isn't pitched within standard keys, rather it is microtonal*: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgtzOafdoOQ  kind of sorry to inflict this on you lol
* in this context a cent is 1/100th of a semitone/half step

Is there a way to tell if a Romeo Goldburst is nitro or truetone by the serial number? P2102 first 4 of serial.

Thoughts?
