Has anyone used one of these? I'm considering it - would love to hear any feedback, or tips/tricks, if folks have some experience with fret leveling beams.

Or is it shameful self-promotion?  Oh well...  Tomorrow (Friday) is Bandcamp's First Friday sale! First Fridays are special on Bandcamp. Here's why (from Bandcamp itself):

"On the first Friday of the month since March of 2020, we’ve waived our revenue share to help support artists on Bandcamp. Over the course of just those 30 days, fans have paid artists and labels more than $106 million USD. If you’re among the nearly 1.6 million fans who have participated, thank you..."

I have several songs on Bandcamp. Here's the link: https://sleighwriter.bandcamp.com -- please feel free to browse my tunes and listen to them. If you like my efforts and want to support me in writing more tunes, why not purchase one or more (or even all)  this Friday? They're certainly inexpensive, and you'll be supporting your local starving artist.

And thanks for your support! (And no, I won't be making this a monthly post--this is a one-off mention, I promise!)

This lag guitar seems fun :-

Anyone have any experience with the grand auditorium models ?
I’m thinking about the 722/822
But I much prefer the Baggs anthem pick up
So that’s only available in the 822
Any one out there got one of these ?
I love the bevel thing . The look of the guitar
Just wondered what anyone else thought.

Hey guys & girls, I'm Shawn... & my surname is.... Eastman.
I'm a beginner & I didn't plan to learn with an Eastman, it just happened. I've got an E1OM.

Anyway... I started learning a little over three weeks ago at the age of 38 (with zero instrument experience) & I'm periodically documenting my progress (started from day 1) with video updates on a new YouTube channel: @NewLifeWithGuitar

I've started with self-teaching via online lessons but hope to introduce weekly in-person lessons in the near future.

First reason for this is so I can of course look back at these in years to come & appreciate this journey we're on of continual improvement - second reason is I think it could prove a collection of useful content for other beginners - both now & in the future - as a sort of reference point or somewhere to get the perspective of another beginner who may be at their current level. I already find it more helpful than you may think to see or hear about other learners struggling with the same things I am & then later explaining how they found ways to overcome this, that & the other.... it has already produced a couple of lightbulb moments in my first 3 weeks... but content from a beginner's perspective seems limited for obvious reasons... we're rubbish & generally want to hide away 'till we're half decent.

Anyway, I'll try to remember to post my updates in here. If any other beginner's want to follow along (as well as any of you more advanced curious minds - I'm sure there's likely to be way more of you here rather than learners) feel free to subscribe & offer words of motivation, advice, or even just to have a general guitar chat!

Thanks in advance to anyone who may be interested...!

For now, I'll plough on with my current week of practice/learning/frustration/enjoyment/finger pain etc... the latest vids of me embarrassing myself are below.

Day 1:




Week 1 Update:




Week 2 Update:




Week 3 Update:

I recently purchased an E20SSV and while it's amazing it has terrible case. Not only does the case give off a horrendous glue smell that taints just about any guitar that is in the case longer than a few minutes, part of the handle snapped the other day. I don't know who is making these cases but in my opinion Eastman needs to switch ASAP.

For context, both my 2017 and 2019 E10D-TC and E20D-TC came with nice cases that had none of these problems. Even as recent as my early 2022 my shipped with a nice case. However, the most recent manufacturer is not cutting it. Eastman can do better, needs to do better.

What case would you recommend for a Eastman slop dread in the $100-200 range? I am not looking to spend a fortune or buy any high end brand name. I just need something that won't have these issues and will fit. What do you all recommend.

Hello - Just wondering if anyone can tell me when the AC series with the cutaway and on-board electronics first came out.  Reason I want to know is because I recently purchased  an older style  AC 122 which was manufactured before these newer versions came out and I'm trying to get an idea of the age of the guitar.  Mine has an open pore finish.  Couple of photos included.
Thanks

I’m looking for a small body 14 fret guitar in the same vein as a Gibson L-00 or Martin CEO-7. I like the idea of the Adi top of the E10, especially if it helps with clarity and low end. However, I also want to be able to play quietly in the evening and worry the E10 may be too much of a cannon. Gloss vs open pore finish is not a concern for me, nor is lack of a hard case (I actually prefer gig bags).

Has anyone played or heard these two side by side? Anyone had issues with the narrow nut width of the 00SS models? Also, anyone played the E10 parlor next to the 00?
