After a lot of consideration, I've decided to put my 2017 E10OM-Ltd up for sale.  It is in near mint condition, and I don't think it was played much before I got it.  Although it is a great sounding guitar and absolutely beautiful, I am likely mostly going to play my E10P and E8D, and I really try not to 'collect'.  I've included a lot of detailed pics, and will take more and answer any questions.

I am looking for SOLD.  I'm pretty set on price, as I don't really need to sell and this is what I have in it.

I just saw this on LA Guitar Sale's reverb page. An E6D with herringbone and white binding instead of the tortoise binding. I've never seen this before on an E6D, and they've always had tortoise binding. I wonder if this was custom, or is Eastman experimenting more? Does this mean we could see some rosewood guitars with tortoise binding moving forward?

I'm starting to hear this new thing a lot- wait 24 hours after you receive your guitar before opening the box.
 Seriously? I couldn't tell you how many guitars I've had shipped to me in the last 45 years or so and I've never had a guitar damaged from opening it, pretty much, as soon as I got it.
 I mean, some common sense could be applied when a person gets a guitar in the winter and brings it into a warm house. Take the case out of the box and let it warm up for a few hours before you actually open the case- but 24 hours?
Is it just me?

MINT...Just traded for it 5 days ago and I'm moving it along...I think I might be a HOG man LOL.  

Asking $1000.  Will drive up to 2 hours from 24091.  Might be open to trading for other Eastman acoustics.  Please send private messages or text to 540-200-5891.

Thanks,
Blair

A few days ago, Eastman released four short videos, providing some insight into Eastman's factory.  While the company has gotten bigger, it seems that they have retained their handcrafted ways.

Here is the fourth video on their guitars.  Incidentally, Mark H. (Eastman's national sales manager) created the music for the clip.

This is a follow-up to my previous thread. I have an E6D-TC and want another dread to complement it. I would like, as a contrast, a big chiming, piano-like sound. Nearly all the replies and comments I've had seem to favour the E20D-TC. I'd really love to hear from any E40D owners, their thoughts on the guitar. I know the guitar needs time to "grow" but I'd like to hear what you think when it's relatively new. My head says E20D-TC and my heart E40D!!

I've got an E10SS coming on Tuesday, any other e10ss owners on here who can recommend the best strings, I'm looking for a punchy bass sound, I'm mainly a strummer flatpicker.

Thanks, Cromwell

I went to acoustic music dot org in Guilford CT yesterday in order to try some guitars with wider fretboards than my Guild GF30. I have been feeling like my large hands are ill served by the 1&11/16 nut on the Guild. The folks there were great, I tried four guitars, a Larivee Tommy Emanuel, a Waterloo WL-K, and two Eastman, an E10OM and an E10OO, which I bought. I also really liked the Waterloo WL-K, but it was significantly more expensive.
Acoustic Music was great to deal with. I traded two Guilds, the GF30 and a D4, both Westerly RI made. They gave me a very fair price for both. Although I am a bit sad to get rid of guitars made in the town I was born in, I’m already noticing a big difference in cleanly fretting notes. It also helps with wife approval that two guitars went out and one came home.

New Eastman owner here, E8OM-TC. Bought sight unseen due to the current situation with the option to return. I was liking it but not blown away until I finally got some new strings on it today. What a difference! Lovely full sound, really happy with it. I'm swapping out my Taylor 414CE for it which some might see as a retrograde step but after buying a Taylor 322CE 12 fret earlier in the year (lovely instrument) I realised that I prefer the OM size. After hearing very good things about Eastman I took the plunge and I'm very happy.

How do I like a post?
Is there a forum search function?
I’m sure I’m missing something obvious so thanks in advance for the help.
