I'm curious - what does the forum think about the AC722 "Dakota Fade" sunburst finish?  Like it?  Dislike?  Neutral?

Wouldn’t it be a killer guitar if Eastman would produce a 12 frets 000 guitar in the style of the Martin 000-40s Mark Knopfler limited edition guitar ?

Whats up with this?
They keep saying “there coming, there coming”
I still haven’t seen one.
I have several speculations.
First, Dana may not be happy with how they look or sound, and will not allow them to be sent to dealers until he fully approves.
Another speculation is that production is so slow and there are so few guitars that they may be waiting till there are enough guitars so all the dealers can get one or two.
I think they only make about 400 Bourgoius guitars a year.
Whatever the reason is , I’m sick of waiting to “touch” a Touchstone with true tone and tone right !!!

I don't have pictures yet but I'm selling my GS Mini Rosewood.  It's in mint condition with very little playing time on it.  I'd like to get 550.00 for it and I'm throwing in the 164.00 dollar hard SKB case especially made for it.  I'll cover shipping in the US.  Pictures coming.

Suggestions in the $600 range for used/new OM or GA size Eastmans. Where is the bang for the buck? Friend is looking around. I’m trying to show him the light.

I found a E6OM-TC on Reverb listed as almost new by a guy who bought it in January and only played it a couple times.  He had dropped the price to 859.00 so I ordered it.  It will be my fourth Eastman in six months!  I'm really looking forward to trying out a torrified top, having never played one.  I'll start an NGD thread when it arrives.

Thought it would be interesting to see everyone's tastes.  Right now the two main ones I've been working on with my teacher are Baby's Coming Home (Chet Atkins) and Berkely Springs (Don Ross).  Thank goodness for my teacher with the latter.  Both fun though. My finger stye skills are slowing improving.

Just saw this posted this morning. This is may be incorrectly marked, but great price on an E20om TC rated excellent and with no cracks.

So - I finally had a chance to play a nice selection of Furch guitars at Acoustic Vibes yesterday.  I now clearly see what all the buzz is about related to the brand.  I played four of them, and liked them all, although my favorite was this one:

For me personally, I could see a high end Furch ($3600) competing with Lowden guitars, particularly on price.  I still think Lowden is one of the best boutique builders, but for the price I was blown away by the Furch.  Everything about the guitar, playability, aesthetics and quality of the build was excellent.

Anyone else have experience with Furch/Stonebridge?  Any owners here?
