Hope to order a new OM probably from Ted at LA Guitars in the next week or so. With that said, I know that even new guitars would be better if professionally setup. My question is can this be done at LA Guitars prior to shipment? The thought of waiting for the new guitar, then driving a 4 hour round trip to a reliable luthier for a setup (after waiting how many days for an opening) I find unbearable. But, if it can’t be done, it is what it is! Any thoughts are appreciated!

Sorry if this has been covered, but what do people use in terms of cleaner, polish, wax, etc. on the antique varnish finish. I just picked up a black SB59/v and the only thing I've been brave enough to try so far is some of my Music Nomad Detailer which worked out OK just to get clean off a bit of store dust. I'm used to giving my guitars the works with cleaner, polish and wax but I'm hesitant with the varnish. I couldn't find any care instructions on Eastman's website. Thanks.

Seems a tad pricey.

For sale is a 2020 Eastman E10D-TC. I recently got a Collings D1A so I'm wanting to try out some Rosewood dreadnoughts so this is on the selling block. This is super loud and resonant. Only mods are Holter Pickguard and strap button. EGF Price of $1100 and buyer to cover PP fees, shipping to lower 48 is included at no extra charge.

Pleaset let me know if you'd like any additional pictures or measurements.  This guitar is very clean.  Only light pickguard swirls and slight handling marks in nitro.  No dings or dents that I can see.  

Here's a video of me playing Jason Isbell's Cigarettes and Wine on this guitar.

I bought some bone pins off of amazon for $9 and dropped them in my E20-OM. It sounds a little brighter now, a tad less low end and maybe a little clearer in the mids. I'll give it a day or two to settle in and see which I prefer. It may end up being a combination of the two?

Anyway, I don't want to get into the whole "bridge pin debate", just thought I'd pass it along. Some may prefer the look even if they don't hear a difference, and, hey, what else can you do to your guitar (other than change strings) for $9?

There are a few of us who are curious about the Schatten HFN for our Eastman acoustics. Anybody have experience with them? If so, please share your thought and impressions. Thanks!

I am in the market for a concert/000 style guitar. I see a couple Eastmans that interest me. The 20Om and the e80 seem quite similar. Both are rosewood back and sides. Spruce tops. I think one is Sitka spruce and the other is Adirondack. Am I correct about this? Any other differences.

Hey guys, longtime follower but this is my first time posting -- apologies if this is in the wrong section. I've been looking for an E1OM for a few months now, and this guitar just popped up near me. I've never seen an E1OM with inlays on the headstock and bridge, or with a pickup installed stock like this one has. The owner attached a COA, which says it was made late last year.

Has anyone ever seen an E1OM with these features? Thanks for your help.

Hey All!

First post here.

I am considering the T484 as well as the T486, and hoping to get some opinions here regarding comparison of these 2 models.

I already have a 16" 335 clone, an Ibanez Artcore AS73L, although I suspect the T486 would be a marked improvement on that. So I was considering the T484 for its smaller size and is about 1 pound lighter too.

I am also interested in how these 2 models compare in terms of getting a good jazz tone. I know neither would get close to a full size jazz archtop, but I have heard a couple of YouTubes with jazz being played on the T486, and its pretty nice. Wondering if the T484 might be a step back from that, or pretty much the same.

Thanks!

Yup, I know you can get an Eastman with the system already installed, I did not get one of those.

I’m considering putting one in my new E20 D-TC

I picked up a stunning little Fishman Loudbox  Mini Charge w/bluetooth
