Is the nut width the only difference between the SS model and the regular D's?  Everything else looks the same.  Is it just that nut width that makes a difference playing wise?

Guitar has sold Thanks to EGF!

What do you use for controlling humidity and what are reasonable levels of RH for acoustics?

I'm in the NW and our humidity ranges from approximately 50 ish to mid 60's.

Well. I did it. I had an older 522ce that I sold about a year ago. Regretted it immediately. But lucky for me. The new ones are awesome. The chamfered edge is great and the sound hole really gives it an intimate feel. The sound is wonderful I play for myself primarily so the sound hole makes sense to me. Didn’t know how I would feel about the Gold burst…. Now that it is here it is beautiful. Very tasteful and growing on me by the minute.

The sound is as you would expect from the wood combo. It is a bit tight but as to be expected for a brand new guitar. Great bass and mids. Plus the treble is toned down just a hair which I appreciate. My magical E10om has a bit more treble and I’m finding the ac to be more balanced.

The craftsmanship and detail and materials on this guitar are amazing. I find myself staring at it just as much as I have been playing it the past two days. Also the neck. It appears to be one solid piece… not three. If it is three pieces, I do not see any joints or change in grain.

On with the pics. Feel free to ask any questions. I’m just here at home drooling.

So, I was just about to call Sweetwater when someone on the AGF forum messaged me about wanting to to a trade.   He has a 2018 Custom Shop D-18 with Adi top that he'd like to trade for my E20.  He wants $1500 cash.  I'm nervous about doing a trade as I've never done one before.  What do you think?  Any advice?  Part of me just wants to do the sure thing and call Sweetwater but I'm also worried that I'm being chicken and could get a much nicer guitar.  HELP

Most of you know the story.  Decided I needed a Martin Dread and so something had to go.  Bought in May and played very little as I really seemed to bond a little more with the E10OM-SB. I had a K&K pure mini installed by Sun Valley guitars.  

Price: 1100.00   Shipping: 120.00 and prefer Friends and Family if it's PP.

Hello all,

I am a new member and proud owner of a brandnew Eastman SB59 Goldburst. Best guitar I ever had… Absolutely beautiful in all relevant ways - tone, playability, looks, feel…

Hope to exchange experiences here and gain some insights on owning and playing an Eastman!

Regards!

Has anyone dealt with them before? I just sent them a price quote that I received from Sweetwater and supposedly they'll match other offers.  It also appears that they only charge sales tax in PA?  Any confirmations of this or experiences would be great!

Not my ad, but thought all on here would appreciate this rare prototype Eastman.
