Hello folks, I’ve had a very nice E10OM for a couple of years. I’d like to trim the saddle a little but just cannot remove it from the bridge. Might it be glued in? Any suggestions would be welcome.

Steve B. (Eastman sales) just confirmed on the FB group that price increases went into effect today.  He said that shipping prices have tripled, and they were losing money on some models, so this was a forced necessity to stay in business.  If you're thinking about buying an Eastman, especially for the holidays, you might want to look for current inventory that will sell at the previous prices.

This is a great price IMHO. I have a couple already and I really like them.

Any of you guys use a thumb pick?  I'm drawn to the boom chuck sound and thought I'd start experimenting.  Seems a bit awkward but I'm sure with time it'll get easier.   What are the distinctions between them?  I mean are there different thicknesses and materials for different sounds like regular picks?  I picked up a Dunlop medium for starter.

Any thoughts would be welcomed?

Have any of you ever used Novus polish om your gloss finish Eastmans?

I am thinking about replacing the stock LR Baggs UST in my AC422CE with the LR Baggs Anthem system, which uses an internal microphone as well as an under saddle transducer.  I would like to hear from anyone who has installed the Anthem system in their guitar.  I think it should be a pretty easy swap, except I wonder how the internal wiring is secured, how difficult it would be to remove the old wiring and secure the new wiring.  Can the internal wire fastening devices be reused?

(My question is not about what pickup system you prefer.  It is about your experience in installing the LR Baggs Anthem.)

Thanks

I recently purchased some DR Rare Phosphor Bronze light strings, and installed them on my Eastman E8OM-TC. All I can say is WOW. I've tried several different brands on my E8OM-TC, and these DR Rare are exceptional.

These strings really have such a great projection, and I still hear the wood of the guitar vs hearing all strings. The tone is fantastic. I don't know how to describe the tone in an eloquent way, but it's just a game changer IMO.

Anyways, I believe several members here on EGF recommended DR Rare for Rosewood guitars and it definitely didn't disappoint. Thank you!

Highly recommend these strings!

As an early Christmas gift my wife gave me the go ahead to order an Eastman AC422CE.

I’m going to order via phone from Chicago Music Exchange tomorrow, and ask them to install a second strap button before they ship it.

Woo Hoo! Happy phy is happy!
