So I needed a new acoustic for gigging and had been hearing alot about Eastmans. Ended up getting a artist deal with them as we play 150+ nights per year.

Here is a link to the exact model I got (my cell camera is cracked so no pics right now)

In the end I got what would be a 2500+ martin or Taylor for about 600. Amazing instrument. Solid Adirondack spruce top, mahogany backs and sides, LR baggs pickup, Gotoh tuners, ebony brisge and fretboard. (fretbaord is bound with mhaognay which is nice an understated but beautiful. Entire back and body is bound with mahogany. Hard case and a few extras included. It is a killer guitar.

Plan to go back up and pick up a hollowbody electric in the coming weeks and possible a Gibson j45 style guitar.

As I know our jazz wizard Gabriel used to have a hollowbody ES335 style Eastman

My camera is toast on my phone and someone stole my actual camera at a show a couple months ago. That is why Iw ent the generic link route. Smile

I will say, after walking through their shop in Pomona, Ca, they have some nice guitars and stuff.
