Hi - I'm new to the group, thanks for having me.
I have an Eastman Otto D'Ambrosio Signature Model El Rey 2 ER2 Archtop Hollowbody - I love the guitar, but it won't stay in tune to the point I can only use it for practice - and then I spend half the time tuning it. Could it be the tuning pegs? Strings? Has anyone ls had this problem? I just had a neck reset by a highly recommended luthier - but this has always been a problem only now it's worse.

Thanks in advance for your help

I saw this on marketplace for $60. I’m going to see it tomorrow. It comes with case. The seller said that it has very little play time on it.I thought it might be a good beater. I know that back and side is sapele laminate - assume top is solid Sitka. Wondering if anyone on here knows the history of this model.

Hi, 

New to the group. I've been lurking around in the Eastman groups on FB for a while with no luck, so, thought I'd ask if anyone here might have some alternative suggestions of where I might try my luck looking for an AC108CE-LTD model?

I know they're hard to come by at this point with the limited production run. Just hoping for a miracle trying to find one of these it would seem and taking shots in the dark at this point - and dodging scammers right and left haha. I've had 4 try to separate me from my money already the last couple of weeks! It's rough out here, gotta keep your wits about you.

Thanks for any tips you may have!

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.
