Hello,
New to the forum and am seriously looking at 2 Eastman models and having a heck of a time deciding. I know that I want a mahogany back and that I also want a thermo cured spruce top. I guess I'm getting stuck because I don't have any place near me that has both to try, an OM and a dread. I've generally preferred the sound/tone of the dread but an OM that I owned previously was much more comfortable to play. Guess I'm looking to find out if these Eastman OM's can sound as good with being at least close to the headroom of a dread.
So down to the E6OM-TC or the E6D-TC, any help or advice is appreciated.
Oh and to make matters more complicated I also found a mahogany OM Eastwood with a TC Swiss spruce top, ugh, the more I research it the more confused I get. I'm guessing the dread is probably more of what I'm looking for but would be great to get that sound out of an OM for comfort and maybe slightly better playability.
I can be heavy handed sometimes, love to bang out open chords here and there as well as some stuff with a lighter touch and flat picking. Rock, blues, also started using a capo more and more as of late.
or
Again any help appreciated, TIA
Edited to add that I'm not necessarily looking for more volume or a "louder" guitar. I just do enjoy some heavier strumming sometimes and like a good, clear mid range and clarity. Don't want it to get muddy or anything and still sound good if accompanied by vocals
