YOU ARE CONSIDERING A NEAR NEW EASTMAN E40OO.

I GOT THIS GUITAR JUST BEFORE I GOT A CANCER DIAGNOSIS. I HAVE HAD MONTHS OF SURGERIES AND RECOVERY AND NEED TO SELL SOME GUITARS. IT HAS SPENT THE TIME I HAVE OWNED IN ITS CASE WITH HUMIDIPAKS.

LOOKING FOR A GOOD HOME.  I PAID $2600 WOULD LIKE TO $2100.  I WOULD TAKE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL AND I WOULD PAY THE GOODS AND SERVICE FEE AND SHIP ANYWHERE IN USA FREE.

Anyone else feel like the supplied truss rod wrench does not fit properly, as in to small? Mine seems to have a lot of play, I own several Eastman guitars and they are all pretty much the same. Thanks Al

Hi all... 

I'm new to the Eastman world with a purchase of a E6D-TC Serial Number M2220029. Martins have been my preoccupation and currently own an 1999 OM 28 Custom along with a Backpacker and a 2004 000-16GT which I traded in a couple of year ago. I have owned Gibsons and Taylors along the way as well and am extremely happy with the quality of my new Eastman Acquisition. My question is this, the top Tonewood is very light and much lighter than any other guitar I've owned. i learned that some E6D-TC have Alpine Tops vs. Sitka. This topic appears ad nauseum so appreciate your patience. I got two responses from Eastman Client Service. The first is that my serial number confirms Sitka and the second says that there was no way to tell per my Serial Number. I understand the Covid era window and the lack of a Sitka supply, however can anyone confirm the possibility that this Dreadnaught has an Alpine Spruce top? Looking at serial numbers close to mine. Thank you in advance.

Still researching Eastman’s small-bodied guitars. Unfortunately, the largest and best-stocked Eastman dealer in my area has closed permanently, and I’m not sure if any other nearby stores have them readily available to try out... I’ve tried searching for more information online, but haven’t found anything that clearly highlights the tonal differences between the two models. I’m aware of the differences in materials and specs, but I’m not sure how they manifest in sound. I assume that the thinner varnished adi top on the /v model might produce a more powerful and brasher tone compared to the regular gloss version? If that's the case, it might not suit my preferences as I prefer a sweeter, warmer sound that I can sing over.

Cheers

Anyone know which if any Eastmans use a lighter 1/4” size brace?
Thanks

I currently own an E6SS that I’m planning to sell because the neck is too big for my arthritic wrist. I was considering a smaller body, like the E10OM or E10OOSS, but I just read that the necks on those two models are actually chunkier than the one on the E6SS. Is that right?

I've been wanting a small bodied guitar for a while. I want something more comfortable and easier to play.

The Martin 000-15SM is a great guitar but a bit out of my price range, plus I already own a D-15 and I'd feel a bit silly owning both for some (perhaps stupid) reason. On the Eastman side, my shortlist includes the E10OOSS, E10OOSS/v as well the E10OM and E10OM TC. I also like the E15SS, but that was a limited custom series somewhat hard to come across on the used market.

I'd like to retain as much bass response as possible. How do the E10OOSS and E10OM compare in that department? Are there notable differences in terms of tonal balance, note separation, projection, comfort, etc.?

Thanks.

I've already got an E10SS and as I spotted a great offer for a E6SS-TC, I wonder if it's worth it. I mean do they sound differently enough to justify a new guitar?

Hi Folks

I'm a recent Eastman convert and proud owner of an Eastman E20P. I've been playing for about 18 months making decent and steady progress, and feel ready to jump into my first 12 string. I've got an opportunity to buy an Eastman 6D 12 string in great condition made around 2019

I'm interested to hear any feedback, ie is it a decent model that will last (or is it a 6 string design with 12 strings that i should avoid). The AC330 12 string is too big to be comfortable for me, so I am looking at other Eastman options.

I'd also be interested to hear views on the 1D 12 string.

Many thnx

Hi,

I have a mint condition E6D-TC (Alpine spruce top) that I really like, but have come to the realization that dreadnaughts (25.5" SL) are just too much guitar for my age.

I have an E10SS-TC that I love, and would like to trade my E6D for an E6SS. I also believe that Sitka is more my style of top wood. 

I've heard claims that the Alpine lies somewhere between adi and sitka, tonally, but to my ears, it leans more to the Adi side. This one does not compress when pushed hard like Sitka does. It sounds fantastic, and I can send recorded snippets of it if you'd like. 

The E6D is in immaculate condition, as I'd expect the E6SS to be. I have the case, plus everything that came with it. It was purchased from the acoustic shoppe, and has their little Alpine flyer they put in the case., and even one of their picks.  

It would be best if the trade was done somewhere west of the Mississippi, to avoid excessive shipping costs. I am in SoCal, if anyone is local to there. 

I might also consider a trade for an E8OM. It doesn't have to be a TC version, just a really nice one. 

thanks
