I was just at my local Eastman dealer here in Memphis.
Martin Music on Poplar ave.
They just got a shipment of 35 Eastman instruments, guitars and mandolins!!
It may take a few days to get all the photos on to their website but I do know there were several OM models in the shipment.
I think it’s mostly the E series.
I am just a customer there and am hopeing that the E20ss they have in one of the boxes can go gone with me!

I’m amazed at how stunning the antique varnish finish looks, however, in all the pictures I’ve seen, it appears to be very red.  So while I think it’s beautiful, it may be a bit too loud and red for my tastes.  Does anyone think this finish might mellow out over time, maybe turn a little more brown as the spruce ages?

I’ve been considering purchase of an E10 oo guitar and ran across a few of these LTD guitars.  They both have 00 bodies with solid wood spruce tops and mahogany or sapele sides, so what are the differences? The LTD say they only made 250, but I’ve seen several for sale.

As I understand it Eastman is having difficulty sourcing Sitka spruce, and for this reason the Traditional line E6 & E8 models are only being offered with torrefied European spruce tops.

For those of you who are plugged in and "in the know," is their any word on when non-torrefied Sitka spruce Traditional E6 & E8 models might return?

I'm curious if anyone has played one of these, specifically the studio with the cutaway.  I've been rather interested lately in a dread with a cutaway, and I'm curious if anyone has played one.

Hi there

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

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!
