Hi there

Anyone knows why Eastman wouldn‘t do a long scale OM body size within the E-series? Just wondering.

Cheers from Switzerland

Been searching for a long time for this Eastman 12-fret, and finally managed to find one, I’m really pleased with it, action was a bit high initially, as the previous owner never had it set up from new, so I got a local dependable guitar tech to do just that, it now plays much easier,the tone and volume that this guitar puts out is way beyond its body size, I can even notice it opening out further by the day almost, I just can’t put this one down.

Just curious, 12 frets are intriguing to me and I'm wondering what you've tried (any brand) and what you thought about them?

Last nite I was eating my dinner on the coffee table in front of the tv and surfing a bit on guitar sites.  I always have a bottle of beer with dinner but rarely drink much of it so there's usually plenty left when I'm done eating.  After I finish I started picking up my plate and bottle and tipped the bottle over an a bit poured onto the keyboard.  One of those slow mo things where you watch everything happening in slo motion.  I quickly turned it over wiped off the keyboard and put it upside down on a towel and am waiting 24hrs (per internet instructions) before turning it on again.  

I don't hear much good news about beer in computers because of corrosion and my tech said that he's only seen one laptop that survived a spill.  Nevertheless, I remain hopeful while I browse the Apple site looking at replacements.  It's my personal laptop vs my work and it has so much stuff on it and though mostly backed up I will probably lose some stuff.   I've read that even if it starts and works that any residual leakage will do it's thing and eventually it will kapoot! 

Ah, life, so full of surprises!

Eastman E10D, made in Dec 2020, in excellent+ condition. No issues, plays great. Killer back and sides on this! Comes with the Eastman hard shell case.

$925 shipped in the USA.

I'm thinking maybe down the road I might pick up a mahogany body for playing finger style.  Do you guys prefer a Grand Auditorium or an Orchestra Model for playing finger style?

Howdy Y'all - Looking really hard at Crossrock cases for Eastman dreds - overall they usually get good reviews but I seem to remember some internet warrior claiming that he had unfixable problems with the fit for his dred - I would be way more comfortable hearing from an EGF member if anyone has a comment - Thanks in advance !!

Stopped into my local shop today.  Always cruising to see what (if anything) is new.  To my surprise they had a new E8OM-TC... but that was not what was surprising.  It was labeled (inside the body) as E6OM-TC, and priced accordingly- $1099!  Clearly wrong - rosewood back and sides, snowflake inlays, herringbone binding.  Should I just snatch it up?  I didn't point out the discrepancies to the owner as I just might take advantage of the situation.  Is there a way to determine that the top is indeed torrefied?  I might take my E6 in and play them side by side.  Heck, I might even trade... though I doubt it.  I love my mahogany.  $1100 is not pocket change, but I can't deny that my head has been turned.

Do any of you very knowledgeable Eastman fans have an explanation?  I would worry that it is B-stock but for the fact that the label is incorrect... and I seem to be the only person that knows it!

Based on this poem by Robert Burns:

Now westlin winds, and slaught'ring guns                 (western)
Bring Autumn's pleasant weather;
The moorcock springs on whirring wings,
Amang the blooming heather:
Now waving grain, wide o'er the plain,
Delights the weary farmer;
And the moon shines bright, as I rove by night,
To muse upon my charmer.

The paitrick lo'es the fruitfu fells;                              (partridge)
The plover lo'es the mountains;
The woodcock haunts the lonely dells;
The soaring hern the fountains:                                (heron)
Thro lofty groves, the cushat roves,                          (pigeon)
The path o man to shun it;
The hazel bush o'erhangs the thrush,
The spreading thorn the linnet.

Thus ev'ry kind their pleasure find,
The savage and the tender;
Some social join, and leagues combine;
Some solitary wander:
Avaunt, away, the cruel sway!
Tyrannic man's dominion!
The sportsman's joy, the murd'ring cry,
The flutt'ring, gory pinion!

But Peggy dear, the ev'ning's clear,
Thick flies the skimming swallow;
The sky is blue, the fields in view,
All fading-green and yellow:
Come let us stray our gladsome way,
And view the charms of Nature;
The rustling corn, the fruited thorn,
And ilka happy creature.                                                    (every)

We'll gently walk, and sweetly talk,
While the silent moon shines clearly;
I'll clasp thy waist, and fondly prest,
Swear how I lo'e thee dearly:
Not vernal show'rs to budding flow'rs,
Not Autumn to the farmer,
So dear can be, as thou to me,
My fair, my lovely charmer!

Manufactured Sept 2020.

Still has the protective plastic on the PG.

I have two Eastman OMs, which is one too many, and this one is up for sale because, being rosewood, it has an abundance of overtones which don't mesh well with my fingerstyle playing. Otherwise, a sonic gem!

OHSC, of course, with all candy.

You cover paypay and I'll get the shipping.

Thanks for looking! eljay
