Sorry for the re-post - I initially posted in the general forum.

This arrived today from Reno's Music (guitarhotline.com).  Now I can spend 1/2 my time tuning, and 1/2 my time playing out of tune!

I think I prefer mahogany and I haven’t been playing this one. It has been Plekked, Schatten installed and upgraded Gotoh tuners. Here is a link to the AGF listing with pics. I would be a little more flexible for EGF members on pricing.

I've mentioned that I hate changing strings.  Well, Uncle Jessie turned me on to the Taylor method of stringing and it changed my life!  Took me one third the time.  I created one of those power winders with a cordless screw driver and a "custom" fitting adapter to go on the tuning peg.  No figuring out whether I go clockwise or counter clockwise and no winder slipping off the peg.  Anyway, I'm a happier stringer.

Put some GHS Vintage Bronze on the E10OM.  I think that's what I've read here as a worthy alternative to the stock strings. I was really aiming to make a diffference on the e and b strings in the first few frets where it was pretty bright when fretting a chord on those strings.  We'll see when the strings settle in.  I liked those strings on the E6.  If they don't work I've got some DR's.

I am really Gasing over this Eastman E10P SB.

Sounds great even being played with a pick, and the sheer beauty of it makes my mouth water. The tortoiseshell binding just sets it off perfectly. It would complement my Rosewood/Red SpruceAddy E20P nicely too, but I absoloootly do not need another guitar ...

This Eastman thing seems to have taken control of my mind and my wallet . . .

Saw the double tops on E's website and was/am thoroughly intrigued. Having just sold a couple of guitars, I decided to explore the merits of the double top technology first hand.

I'm just awed by the tonal presence of the E10OM-TC; more than a little curious how RW + DT will sound.

NGD on Tuesday, June 15!

Just bought a new-to-me e10ss last month. It’s just an amazing guitar. It was built in 2014, but I was wondering if the wood has already opened up or if I could expect more (welcome) changes. Either way, I’m very happy with this guitar!

I've started thinking about what my next purchase might be and have been looking and listening to Martins especially the 00018 and 00028.  One of my guitars would have to go ( all things point to one in particular) and I'd have to save some money but I've really thought that I'd like to take a step up.  I'm not sure it's a step up of course which is why I'm posting.

Any of you have experience with these guitars?  What are your thoughts. I suppose ever if your experience wasn't with one of the ones I mention I'd still like to hear your thoughts.  

Boutique guitars are way out of my league but something about these has me thinking!

From L.A. Guitar Sales . . .

To this moment, I've not laid a hand on an Eastman; purchased on the strength of Eastman's reputation. No shortage of good press!

The guitar will join a couple of Gibson custom-shop square shoulders and a Yamaha LL-56.

I'll share the NGD with y'all as soon as I can!

Regards, eljay

it's here!

I find this cover of the Beatles Money so amusing :

This was posted over at AGF by someone (not me) but not getting a lot of interest there.  Some info about stuff we've speculated about here  https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/foru...p?t=617757

With that MSRP, I expect MAP in the low $2000s which is right in line with the priciest Eastmans and below the lowest Bourgeois. 



I have info about Bourgeois & Eastman
