I impulsively cut out the guts of my T386 like 6 months ago and it took me this long to figure out what I wanted to put back in.

Brandonwound 1959 clones with A4 mags and wiring harness by Toneman.

Hope to have it back from my luthier friend soon and will report back!

The usual caveats apply - No knowledge of actual guitar. No relation to the seller. I also have no idea whether this is a bad/good/excellent price.

This 13 yr old girl can sing! I'd say she's rather uninhibited.... an element of greatness???

Hi all, this is my first day of register to this lovely forum and also a day I would like to make my purchase for Eastman guitar! I have been researching for a long time to have my first upgrade

However, I am still torn between E6OM and E10D.. I play mostly strumming so I was going for E10D, but then I went to a local store that had E6OM at that time and loved the comfortable size it brings as well.. I really wished I could compare them side by side but they did not have E10d at that time.
Anyone who had experiences with both? also, what kind of pickup system do you guys recommend?

Anybody switch these out and notice any remarkable tonal differences?

Happy Saturday Morning - just read the "Blondes Have More Fun" thread and it got me thinking about armrests. I've never used one and I'm not particularly enchanted with their appearance but.......apparently there is some sentiment out there that they can improve the overall voice of an acoustic guitar - I have a shiny new E40D that I would truly like to protect from the vile bodily fluids that I secrete in massive quantities when jamming, also I am all about trying to maximize the performance of my guitars (I was under the impression that they could detract from performance by deadening top vibration - maybe the opposite is true). This is possibly an inexpensive way to do both - Does anyone have any opinions pro or con ? Any horror stories about the adhesive damaging (nitro) finishes? Any noticeable improvement in voice? As always, the opinions of fellow Eastman warriors is appreciated !! Thanks in advance !!

After much selling, and buying, I have found my perfect three. The 904 for killer swing, and the 822ff for alternate tuning fun. But the E20D......after a few months of playing , this guitar has opened up acoustically in such a fantastic way - it does it all. My 904 came with a Pearson armrest which I am loving. I really have a bad habit of laying my big old acidic arm all over the lower bout - kills sound and dulls the finish. Just bought two Pearson armrests for the other two - nervously waiting to put them on.

There's an Eastman T185MX on eBay.  I've seen this guitar posted before, and it claims to be in Mint condition, but now it's up for auction.  So, if you're feeling an itch for an all-solid semi-hollow, this may be a good opportunity.  Auction ends in 18 hours.... current bid is $999, which would be a good price for this guitar (MSRP is $2399, MAP is ~$1900).  Good luck!

Hello everyone, I have searched the forum and been to the Eastman site and still confused on the Model designation and series.  (I know Taylor models).
I have my choice narrowed down to the Traditional Series. And I understand the shape chart I see on the Eastman site.

Couple of questions or if there is a list somewhere I can go there.

Like the Eastman E2OM Sapele but does the the OM = 00 or Orchestra?

Also what is the difference in PCH1OM and E20M and why are some models thousands of dollars while some solid wood models are much less?

What is ACOM2?
Then there is E10.

Guess I just need to look each one up and list them.

Anyways, thanks and cheers!
