Hello!

I would like (more like love) to buy an AC108CE-LTD if anyone has one they'd like to sell.

Shoot me a PM if this is you! Thank you

The pickup in my PCH1-GACE is dead and I'd like to remove it.  I have a sound hole pickup I can use instead, but I have to remove the Eastman Fishman module because it is in the way.   How is it attached and how hard is it to remove?   Will an X-acto knife work?  It looks like it has some kind of black foam material between the electronics housing and the guitar just inside the sound hole.

Hello All,
I just bought a used E20SS and have a question on the bridge.  Here are a few pics of the bridge.  I know its supposed to be ebony but this seems pretty light and more rosewood.  It is also slotted which I wasn't expecting.  Can anyone with a E20SS confirm if this bridge looks correct or if it was possibly replaced?  I want to be sure of what I'm buying. 
Thanks in advance

We just returned from a Diana Krall concert. Her guitarist, Anthony Wilson, is an incredible musician. He had two very expensive custom John Monteleone guitars in his lineup. Those guitars can go for $85,000.00 used.  We were seated in the center of the theater so I am thankful I remembered to bring my binoculars. Looking at his lineup I was happily surprised to spot an Eastman dreadnought. I figured Eastman Guitar fans would appreciate that bit of news. Here is Anthony Wilson with John Pisano, both playing Eastman electric guitars;   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMlQUq5I-QQ&t=75s

I am recently retired and can take courses at the U of Minn for a greatly reduced rate. I signed up for intro to ukuleles, but I need to find one. I would prefer a solid wood and I know Eastman makes one. Anyone have any experience with Eastman ukuleles? There are none to be tried in my area.
Thanks

Hi,
I have never oiled my fretboards, and I recently had to have a small crack repaired on the fretboard of my E20 OM CE.  The luthier suggested that I start using some oil when I change my strings.
I have a T64/V (which is a fabulous instrument, by the way) and I am wondering if anyone has experience oiling the boards on Eastman Thinlines.  (I also have a t484, another gem).  I assume that the fretboards are not sealed or coated in anything that would get in the way of some oil?  I bought the F-One Oil from Music Nomad.
Thanks in advance for any info.

Hi.
I’m new to the forum and would like some advice please.
I’m looking at buying a 2nd hand guitar. It ticks all the boxes that I’m looking for inc a nut width of 1 3/4 The seller is looking for £400 and says it’s in excellent condition.
Does anyone have experience with this model guitar and is this a good deal.
Thanks in Advance

Hi All,

I really love my new SB55 - it’s a great guitar.  However, the tuning is a bit of an adventure.  The nut is fine (had it checked out), but the tuners are not so great - fair amount of slippage while playing. While the other Faber hardware on this guitar is terrific, I think the tuners may be from a bad batch.  No biggie, but would like some advice as to drop in replacements.  Are the Fabers the same size as Klusons?  I very much want to avoid drilling any new holes.  The Fabers have a tuning ratio of 15:1 so, as long as I’m replacing, I figure that I will want to go to a higher ratio as well and I am considering locking tuners to boot.  I am considering Kluson 3+3 Locking Revolution Series.  

As an aside, someone else had a similar complaint on a different online forum sometime ago and a couple people really jumped on that person’s back.  Just to reiterate, I think Faber makes good stuff, but these specific tuners need replacing.

All the best!

Is it possible to get info to make a small quantity of varnish to repair the finish on an Eastman guitar? Or is it possible to acquire a small quantity from Eastman?

Any info on the formulation would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I've noticed that a large number of Eastman TC acoustics have a darkened area along the center seam of the top. Why is that?
