Ease of playing chords up the neck on different guitars
Posted by: Slider - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (2)

=12pt=10.0ptI have an AC122 - purchased new couple of months ago. It was "new" old stock - it doesn't have the electronics or cutaways that are in the newer AC line. I also have a 2010 AC412 - which is a different body type of guitar altogether. I think Eastman used the AC designation on a bunch of their guitar models back then. Anyway - the AC412 is a fully bound fret board and much easier to fret chords up the neck than my AC122. My assumption is that a 400 series Eastman is just a more professional sort of model than a 100 series, therefore playability is just superior when you go from a 100 series to 400? So I'm wanting any opinions on whether my assumption would be correct. The guitars were both purchased at a quality guitar shop and I believe were both properly set up.

  E2D &E1D

Ok, I love Eastman guitars Amazing tone. Very good workmanship to a point. I am now experiencing my second bridge issue on an Eastman guitar! My E2D-BK, I just noticed that the Bridge is lifting on 2 corners!!( My E1D bridge split )I've owned 30-35 guitars over 22 years and not once have I ever had any major issues with any brand I've owned. I've ALWAYS Taken very good care of all my guitars and kept all of them Humidified  and in the case when not being played. I'm so very disappointed. Anyone else have any Bridge issues or other issues?????
JUST FYI, My E1SS and AC322ce so far are fine.........

  AC308ce
Posted by: gigicicu - Forum: Eastman Acoustic Guitars - Replies (2)

Hi,
I've post this message in a wrong session, so I post it again here :

Hi,
First of all, sorry for my english (nobody's perfect, I'm french...).
I'm about to buy an AC308ce, which is a limited edition, ad I'm wondering about the real dimensions of this guitar.
It's no more on Eastman site, and I've seen a lot of very different things about the dimensions of the body, and about the scale...
If I'm not wrong, this model is not the same size as others Ac (slightly short), and the scale is 24"9 and no 25"4.
Am I wrong ? And what would you say about this guitar ?
Many thanks,
Gilles

Since, I've bought this guitar (yesterday !). I confirm that the body size is 15" and the scale 24.9". Does anyone know how much of this limited model have been built ? Do you know for more why Eastman never answer at any messages post on their contact page ?
Good day

It's very difficult to find any review of the new Romeo NYC.

Did anyone had the opportunity to try one? Any thought about it?

  T59/v Knob Replacement Question
Posted by: Drew2387 - Forum: Eastman Electric and Archtop Guitars - Replies (4)

Hello all! I am wondering if Gibson Amber Top Hat style knobs would fit on a T59/v? I wasn’t sure if the T59 needed 18/20/24 spline spindles to fit properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks for your time

  E6-SS peg hole size
Posted by: Greg1075 - Forum: Eastman Acoustic Guitars - Replies (5)

Hello all,

First-time poster here. I recently bought a like-new second hand E6-SS TC at a killer price to complement my Martin D-15. It's a bit heavy, but I love the sound and flawless construction. As reported by others, the only negative thing are the pretty tight PingWell V93N tuners. I am considering replacing them with Grover Sta-Tite 18:1. The posts are 6.35mm, and the bushings 8.30mm.

I couldn't find the diameter for the E6-SS's peg holes on the website. Would anyone happen to know what they are? I'd like to know if installing the Grovers would require modifying the holes in any way (which would result in about the cost too).

Cheers.
