Hi, not sure this is the right place -so mods shove me into a corner if I've been bad.

DQ1. I have three Eastmans now ncl. two recent flat top purchases.
E20-P serial no. 1685624 (bought new in 2019)
E40-00 serial M2011683 (???) bought new in 2020.  "M" ???

Anybody know how to date these ?

DQ2 - I've seen references to "Pomona" Cal -which I'm guessing is a distribution centre for the USA ....OR?? for USA and te rest of the world? 

Do they have a distribution centre/stock centre/ offices whatever in Europe ??

I'm sure I saw a job advert for a regional sales Mgr atone time which I referred to a frind who been in the rtade. but tat was some time ago.

DQ3. I have a Collings cap, a Santa Cruz cap, but i don' got no Eastman cap. 

I'd really like one - are there such things?? If I can't get one in Europe or whatever, I'd be hay to pay all costs if someone could get one for me.  As we say in merrie olde Englande -    "tata for now!"

I just got an AR372CE and discovered that the truss rod ends in a nut. This is a new one for me — I'm used the sort you adjust using an allen wrench. 

What's the size wrench I need to adjust? Seems like 7mm or 8mm are common, though StewMac sells 1/4", 9/32", and 5/16". 

Any other tips for adjusting this sort of truss rod would be appreciated — thanks.

I have two very recent Eastman grand auditorium acoustic guitars here, of the same model, nearly consecutive numbers (2 numbers apart), the earlier one with a traditional dovetail neck and the other with a bolt-on neck.

Is this a change that will be made to all Eastman production guitars? Is it a carry-over from the Bourgois guitars? If anyone has information I would be curious to know!

The bolt-on neck seems heavier at the joint (not surprising). I have no particular preference, each side has its proponents.

Have anyone had any experience with this model?

Plan to get one for travel and couch guitar?

Thanks, Bob

After several significant delays, I have finally taken ownership of a brand new Eastman AC622CE, with the Alpine spruce top, flamed maple back, sides and neck, and maple leaf inlays. Oh, and an armrest bevel, and sound port.

It is extremely beautiful, probably the prettiest guitar I have. My E40OM is also a beauty, but the 622 is more original, and looks less like an "Elvis" guitar.

Preliminary opinion of the tone is, perfect. I was fearing a lack of bass and a brittle treble with this wood combination, but the trebles, while bright, are round, and the bass is big and resonant, though it lacks the growl or rumble of rosewood. But, I'm fine with that - I have several rosewood guitars.

I will post some detailed pictures soon.

I wonder if Eastman has thought about making some D series guitars with torrified tops AND sunburst finishes ......I would look real hard at an E20D-TC-SB - just sayin'........

I was wiping down my D18 yesterday and as I was manuevering the guitar around in the light to see any place I missed I noticed a handful of very light scratches. Invisible almost until the light hits them just right.  I've never had this happen with another guitar so was wondering if the Martin finish is somehow more sensitive for some reason.  I think these probably happened while practicing on the couch.  Anyone have any insights?  Thanks!

Hi All 'Happy New Year' to all.
I'm new to the site and I posted in the wrong location and have been told to post here... my apologies.
I got a new Eastman E1 OM for Christmas and I am delighted with it, I have removed the stock strings and found that two of the tuner hexagon nuts on the front face of the headstock do not tighten up they just spin (finger loose) just keep turning, the other 4 tuners are tight and fine
I'm wondering if anyone can offer me some advice on this issue. Looks like a fault with the bush/nut assembly. Does the bush just press in or is there a thread engagement between the nut and the bush..?
any help would be appreciated
