I was wondering whether any member of this forum follow a regime of physical exercises (other than actually playing tunes) to assist in improving their guitar technique?

Hi, all!

Does anyone know if there are any more of these stain topped (for lack of a better phrase) E100SS-LTDs available? 

Here's a picture of one sold from Mass Street Music:

Thanks for any info.

Hi folks,
I just picked up an ER2, and like it so much I was thinking about getting an ER3 also.  Is anyone having intonation issues with them?  There was one ER3 on Reverb that had been converted to a ER2 style bridge -- the guy said he thought the previous owner might have done it due to intonation issues.  Also, when I look at the older ER3s with the tonepros bridge, the placement seems to be different on every guitar, which seems very odd to me.  Can anyone share their experience?

Picture Day!

Very positive review of the Eastman DT30D in November/December 2019 Acoustic Guitar. The article concludes with 'You'd have to spend considerably more to get a guitar that compares to the tone, power, and looks of the Eastman DT30D, but you don't have to'.

Geographic Location?

How did you discover Eastman?
I discovered Eastman from Browsing guitar forums.

Favorites related to Eastman - favorite models & wood combos, and which model is next on your purchase list?
My favorites are the, Eastman T49V and Eastman T486BK. My next Eastman is going to be another Archtop.

Music interests & anything else?
I'm retired and my music interests are learning how to play Jazz.

I was wondering if we have any news of Pepijn's successor at Eastman Europe? I am sure a talented bloke like Pepijn will do well which ever challenge he takes on. But life goes on as they say.

Has any one played the Eastman Whyte Lady banjo? Apparently it was reverse engineered from a classic early 1900’s Fairbanks Whyte Laydie No.2 banjo (means nothing to me). Good banjo? How does it compare to other, maybe more expensive brands?

Does Eastman make an Acoustic Baritone guitar?

"So a ordered a used E20P on Reverb. I had high expectations, for several reasons.
1. A new E20-OM that I bought from a local dealer last Winter is nearly the equal to my 1969 D-35 in quality of tone, in a smaller form. I just love it.
2. A new Yamaha solid mahogany parlor that I bought online last Spring is OK for the price but not satisfying.
3. A used Larrivee rosewood parlor that I bought online a few weeks ago was a total acoustic disappointment and was immediately re-sold."

The E20P bought on Reverb just arrived and meets all my exceptions.

The Eastman E20P has the same size and weight of my Yamaha CSF3M parlor. It has a much better tone, well worth the extra cost. 
The Eastman E20P does not quite have the same tone as my Eastman E20-OM, which I compare to my Martin D-35. But it is similar in quality of trueness. This is an amazing accomplishment for a parlor.  
The E20P string spacing feels optimized for finger picking, while the E20-OM works for both finger and flat.  
I do not understand why the Larrivee sounded so bad that I could bear to hear it. 

The Eastman E20P has ended my search for the perfect parlor guitar. Can't keep my hands off it.
