Just wondering if anyone knows if Eastman plans on doing any future sunburst guitars in Thermo-Cured (TC) versions?

Hi fellas. This is likely not even an Eastman question. My E2D g string has developed a nasty ping metallic sound when picked or strummed with anything beyond a whisper. I tried replacing the saddle with a new one from MacNichols. I tried changing strings. 

it’s less when fretted. Nothing seems loose or binding near the headstock.

help!

I have an AC322ce that I am in the process of selling....great guitar but doesn't speak to me. I also have an E3DE and E20SS that will be with me forever.  I'm wanting to add an E2D or E2om.  I play about 50/50 with a pick (lightly) and fingerstyle. My mind says that the om would be the best option but the videos I've  seen make the dread sound better.  If any of you have both or one, what is your opinion of these cedar top guitars?  Thanks

Anyone know the reason Eastman doesn't offer an 1 3/4 nut or solid headstock on 00 or P or build an all solid mahogany since they put mahogany back and sides on acoustics. Just curious as to why. I see major brands that offer these specs.

I recently bought an E20SSV and after owning it for 3 weeks I can say it's a keeper! It's a great guitar but I am curious about what you think about this set of rosewood. To my eye it looks way lighter than any set of EIR I have ever seen. Could this actually be Ovangkol instead?

I compared it to an E3D and it sounded much more like Ovangkol than what I am used to hearing Eastman's rosewood sound like.

Perhaps I got a light set or a different tonewood got added into the mix. What do you think? If this was the case it wouldn't be the first time Eastman swapped out a wood without telling the dealer or consumer.

Not complaining, just curious.

Here is my E20SSV



Here are some pictures of two different E3D's

Hello All - I'm trying to get a sense of the difference (if noticeable) between the E20D TC MR and the garden variety TC - any opinions would be appreciated - thanks.

Hi all,
I just got an Eastman 810CE recently (second hand, it was the previous model, with floating pickup).
I absolutely love that guitar, such an easy box to play.
I give my luthier the guitar for a few adjustments to be done, and now it's even better.
The Serial is 7061. I contacted Eastman, but they cannot provide help in evaluating the year of production.
Any idea ?

I am thinking of replacing the original floating KA pick-up (pickguardmounted), which is a bit to bright. 
Maybe with a Benedetto, or a Benedetti (made in France).
Here a few pictures of the model.



Best regards,
Alain

I was looking at guihar ads that inluded the word "natural".  The guitars had "TC" tops.  What does "narueal" mean ?  Doe is have something to do with top coloration ?  I do prefer guitars with a little darker top.

Hello folks.

I am brand new to this forum and I am looking to buy my first Eastman acoustic.  I am looking for an E-8OM-TC and would like recommendations around who the best dealers/shops are to work with, and why you feel that way.  I live in MN.

Your recommendations are much appreciated!

Hello folks!

I am brand new to this thread and looking to purchase my first Eastman after playing a few and doing a TON of research.  If anyone has a used 8OM-TC available I would be interested.  Feel free to PM me.

Thank you!
