Hey everybody,

I'm curious to know what's everyone's preferred tonewood on a dread and OM sized guitar? And why do you prefer it?

Cheers,

Jordan

After experimenting for awhile now with Bluegrass gauge strings, I've decided that I prefer regular light acoustic strings. As it happens, I have 11 sets of unopened Bluegrass acoustic strings from different string makers. All sets are Bluegrass gauge (.012-.056). If you'd like to experiment with Bluegrass acoustic strings on your guitar, for the first three people who respond to this saying they'd like them, I'll send them along. I'm going to divvy up the eleven sets this way: 

First two people to respond via private message:  1 set each of GHS Vintage Bronze, Martin 80/20 Bronze, D'Addario Phosphor Bronze, and DR Rare phosphor Bronze.
Third person to respond via private message: 3 sets of GHS Vintage Bronze strings.
You need to include your home mailing address, of course.

I'll put a reply here as soon as I have three takers... BTW, you can thank Pura Vida for the GHS strings; the others are mine.

We see playing guitar as a form of mindful escapism, a way to create space between an individual and their busy mind. Guitar-playing is beneficial to your overall well-being and mental health in other ways, too, including helping you develop a greater sense of personal achievement.

What you say about this?

Greetings All!

Glad to be part of this group!

Just got a pre owned T184MX and I can't find how track the guitar-
The guy I got it from wasn't sure when it was made. It shows almost
no use at all, and is mint condition.

Serial Number is 10355126

I think it might have been made in 2015, but not positive.
I think it has Seymour Duncan pups.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

UPS delivered my new E8D-TC this morning. From Sky Guitars in Denton TX. Unprecedented double boxed box! Scratched my head for thirty seconds trying to figure out where to open. Also, great setup by Erik @ Sky.

Beautiful shade top, cool reds on the rosewood back. Updates to follow.

First sonic impressions; loud without trying (not unlike most newish Eastmen), with maybe an emphasis on the mids? Early days though..the strings are brand new.

Hey guys,

In case anyone is having GAS.

Dave's Guitar Shop just listed some great used Eastman acoustics. An E1D, E2D, E2OM, and AC122-2CE. Dirt cheap too.

I got my hands on a SB55-V-SB and I thought I'd offer it here. This guitar is a prototype that Eastman used to demonstrate the guitar. It's brand new and come with full warranty and I must say sounds and feels incredible.

Hello. I'm curious to know if anyone here owns both the E6D and E2D (Cedar version)?

If so, how do you think the E2D compares to the E6D in terms of tone? I'm considering buying both models, and would like to know what you guys think about each one. I know the E2D is cedar and sapele with open pore, versus the Sitka and hog with gloss on the E6D. I'm just curious if you think the E6D sound is superior to the E2D or just different? I know these questions are super subjective, but if you own both, which guitar do you prefer and why?

Thank you!

Jordan

Hello all , wondering how many left handed players here ?
Would you post a pic and how you found the brand .
I'll start ,
I was in a little shop and there it was El ray 2 . It was pretty beat up and needed refinish work and rewiring . It hand Seymour Duncan 59's so that was a plus . Its not my favorite Eastman to hear but the prettiest .

Hi all!
My name is Mike. I have a very nice bass rig.
It's an Ampeg SVT CL head (all tube) and an Ampeg SVT410HLF cabinet.
All made in the USA.

Looking for an Eastman Les Paul type of guitar or an SB55. Prefer sunburst.

I'm in So Cal.
