Thought I'd pose a question to the learned Eastman owners on this forum. I'm contemplating the acquisition of either an E8om or E20om. I don't have the opportunity to try them locally so it will most likely be an online purchase. Wondering what differences to look for between the 2 if any other than the sitka vs adirondack tops. Any and all insights would be appreciated.  

Thanks, TC

Hi, can anyone recommend a straight replacement tuner for the E10 00, the Ping ones that came as stock have had it, they have been fine, no complaints but I would definitely prefer a.quality upgrade I can install myself. Any help or.advice appreciated. Thanks in advance

Saw this on FB Marketplace, local seller, nice guy, 2022, as-new condition. Very fair price, couldn’t resist!

Great guitar. I like it better than the Custom Shop Gibson 355 I sold last year.

Hey all - 

Great song and tough to play! I was hoping to capture a more "mistake free" version, but will roll with this one. If you want to try and learn it, I recommend Tim Van Roy's channel on YT; his videos helped me learn this! Recorded with a Tascam Portacapture X6, on an Eastman E10 OM TC.

They just got this guitar in at the Eastman dealer in Memphis.
AC422ce ae.
The back is aged eucalyptus
Anyone know exactly which eucalyptus?
There are dozens of kinds of eucalyptus.

Anyone familiar with these older models? I believe they are basically OMs. 11/22/23 edit - I guess this is the smaller grand concert(ish) body similar to a Taylor X12. I think the price is a little high but not a lot to go on.

I own a slope shoulder hog, and Ive been looking around for a square shoulder model, but I have yet to find a e6d or e10d in any store to play. E1ds are fine and it may be an option. Wondering if any of you own say a 6ss and a 6d or a 10ss and 10d. Sometimes I think I want the snap offered in the full scale square shoulder versions, but I just want to make sure it's not just all in my head .

I spent a bit of time recently trying out some guitars in the eastman range. The local shop I went to had a great selection and I got to try almost everything in their acoustic range. I went in to be blown away by guitars in the 40, 20, or 10 range, but what really stood out to me were their Satin finished guitars like the e1, e2, etc. I was comparing them against the more expensive models and they were louder, more open, and resonant (at least to my ear). Don't get me wrong, the more expensive models were just as incredible, but I would say more refined and controlled.

I just couldn't get over how good the Satin finished models were for the price. Is this common that the gloss used on the more expensive models almost surpresses the sound a little?

I'm having a hard time now deciding over the e1d, e1ss, e2d, and e3de. Anyone else own or has played these got any opinions on them?

Hi everyone, new to the forum and just asking if anyone has played the E3DE ?..looking to buy one.

Hi all.. I wanted to share an update on my efforts to streamline creating guitar performance videos. For some time now I've been researching options to simplify my recording and mixing workflow. I think I've finally landed on a solution - the Tascam portacapture X6.

This hardware mixer/recorder will allow me to dial in compression, EQ and more for my acoustic live while recording, straight into my iphone. This should limit or eliminate the post-production mixing required compared to my current setup. 

I have the Tascam mixer on order and it should arrive Monday. Once it's all hooked up I'll create a new fingerstyle video and hopefully you all will be able to hear for yourself how if X6 helps improve audio quality right off the bat.
