  So my E6D is watching YouTube...

and he demands to know why he got stuck with a hack musician like me. He slowly locks himself back into his case as I watch Suddenly Years Align featuring one of his siblings. Sadly I realize that is question is not at all unreasonable.

  AC 420 replaced by an E series????

Hi

Was this model discontinued and is there a newer E series that is comparable to the Ac420 model?

Thanks!

  Advice needed ASAP and a gut wrenching story about my new guitar
Posted by: girded_loins - Forum: Eastman Acoustic Guitars - Replies (14)

So I have been in the market for about a month for an acoustic with a pickup around $500. I found an Eastman e10om with a kk pure mini installed on reverb for $580 shipped. It looked a little scuffed but nothing crazy. I ordered it and was super excited to receive it the next day. Sadly upon inspection I found a neck crack (shown in the following two pictures) that was not mentioned in the listing. The crack can be seen going down into the neck halfway through the second fret

I contacted the seller who said he never noticed it before but offered me a full refund as well as all the costs for me to ship it back to him. The search continued. A while later I found a nice looking e6om for $600 shipped. It has a fishman matrix installed and was listed as excellent condition. I picked it up from my fedex shop today and rushed it home. When I open the case I saw this:

The crack runs through the fingerboard up about 5 or 6 frets right in the center of it. I contacted this seller who said he had never noticed this either. He says he feels terrible and offered me a full refund or $300 to cover repairs. I did some research and it looks like cracks like this are caused by the fingerboard getting too dry, and most people say it's an easy fix of mixing ebony dust with superglue or epoxy and then filling in the crack. There is a guy close by who does good work, and this guitar sounds and feels insanely good. One of the best feeling/sounding acoustics I have played. 

If i took the $300 i would essentially have this guitar for $300 plus whatever it costs to repair it. 

What do you guys think?

  E40D - eBay Today

No affiliation with the seller.  But I noticed an E40D for auction, which ends this afternoon.  14 bids, so far, at $1150 with a "buy it now" at $1450 + shipping.  If someone is considering this guitar and wants to save a few $$$, this may be a way to do it.

  Which Guitar Shall I Sell?
Posted by: billymo - Forum: Eastman Acoustic Guitars - Replies (5)

Arthritis has been gradually effecting the length of my play time. So I decided I will try to reduce my herd down to just 2 guitars.
I played my AC422CE a few minutes and then concluded, "well, I'm definitely not selling this guitar". 
I played my AC322 a few minutes and then concluded, "well, I'm definitely not selling this guitar". 
I played my AC822 a few minutes and then concluded, "well, I'm definitely not selling this guitar". 
I played my AJ816CE a few minutes and then concluded, "well, I'm definitely not selling this guitar". 
I played my AC512OM a few minutes and then concluded, "well, I'm definitely not selling this guitar". 
I played my RK ROS-647 a few minutes and then concluded, "well, I'm definitely not selling this guitar".
Glad I got that project crossed off my list.

I got an email notification of a thread by meathead about fretboard cracking. Clicked on link in email and the thread was deleted. Sounded interesting. Why deleted? Censored negative info? Other reason?

  Fretboard cracking...
Posted by: Meathead - Forum: Eastman Acoustic Guitars - Replies (13)

Hi gang..

I am changing strings on my E6-OM, and I have just discovered something a bit disturbing.  My fretboard is cracking in the middle.. I assume it wasn't there before, but I didn't inspect the guitar closely when I bought it.  Since I am in Arizona, I think it may be due to the fact that my guitar room needs more humidity, something I have since addressed.
