Do you own more than one type of guitar with the same woods?

Right now I have a Martin D-41 (sitka/rosewood), and I have an opportunity to pick up an Eastman 
e20d-tc (adi spruce/rosewood) and Im' wondering if it's even worth it???

I'd prefer mahogany for a different sonic palette, but I"m wondering how others approach this issue?
Do you (or have you ever) had multiple guitars that are similar?

Eastman e20d-tc:

SOLD.......Unfortunately I can no longer play any nut wider than 1-3/4". Too difficult with my arthritis. I bought this guitar brand new. Plastic still on pick guard. Mint condition, set up and played about 2 hours. I was hoping I could get my hands in shape but it won't happen. Sweetwater gets 1299 plus tax when and if they get an SB model.

I need to net $900. I'm buying a $900 used 1-11/16 nut electric 12. Go figure...
Anyway, $900 plus freight. Great deal if you are looking for a great sounding 12. Check them out online. Again this is like new with an amazing luthier set up. You can see the guitar as it is posted on Sweetwater used guitar site. Only one listed.


SOLD......a trade in.

I just bought a used one off of Reverb...and just noticed it has dot inlays. Is that normal? I actually think I prefer it, I just want to make sure I'm not getting duped. It had a COA pic and it says it was made in 24.

I recently purchased a previously enjoyed Eastman T386 as well as Seymour Duncan Antiquities. I’ve read on various forums, including this one, that the Eastman T386 already has CTS pots, capacitors, and a Switchcraft jack. Is there a way to swap the pickups without having to remove the existing electronics?

Thanks in advance,
Dom

Hi. My name is Bob, and I'm new to this forum, and to Eastman guitars.

I have tried just about every brand, and thought I would give Eastman a try.

I ordered a E8D TC from Sweetwater, and it should be here this week.

Thanks for having me, and feel free to post anything about this guitar.

before I pop my clogs I must (mean MUST) give this store a visit!

Hi all -

Occasionally, you may encounter an "account on hold" page when visiting EGF. This occurs when EGF exceeds the server resource limits set by our host. The primary cause is the high volume of AI bots scanning and indexing webpages for their training data, which overloads our server capacity.

I’m actively working to block these bots, but in the meantime, please don’t be concerned if you see this page from time to time.

Thank you for your understanding and for being a part of the EGF community!

Received my new 12 string today.  It's gorgeous and sounds like heaven. 

But I did notice a funny thing... kind of a design issue.  The way the tuning machines are arranged in the headstock, the low E string on the 2nd tuner actually is slightly bent around the post for the first tuning machine:

I don't know why I waited so long but I finally got a Guild D-140 in cherry-burst. It needed a good wipe-down with a clean, lint-free cloth moistened with Windex, a significant truss-rod adjustment, and new D'Addario 80/20 bronze (12-53) strings. As long as I had the strings removed, I also oiled the fingerboard and bridge with boiled linseed oil which I highly recommend over "lemon" oil. The build quality is excellent; I couldn't find any noticeable flaws in construction inside or out. BTW this guitar proves that there is still nice, dark, genuine rosewood for fingerboard and bridge to be had in a reasonably-priced acoustic guitar. (No need for cheap-looking Indian Laurel!) Having done that, I now had a GREAT acoustic guitar for just over $900 after taxes. It's beautiful, sounds superb, plays easily, and holds tune after some string stretching. Actual photos can be found online. It looks very much like the Epiphone IBG Hummingbird that it is apparently meant to compete with. They are selling out fast because the reviews are overwhelmingly positive and now I know why. I would love to hear your thoughts. God bless and keep pickin'.
