Picked this koa beauty up today!  I actually love the fact that the koa is not bookmatched … it’s complex, asymmetrical, etc.!

Is it ok to play an acoustic bass guitar, for example the Fender CB-60, through a standard (ie not bass-specific) amp? I am primarily concerned with possibly damaging the amp if I sucumbed to temptation and just for the hell of it maxed out the volume. Any views?

Anyone else pretty interested in this new Touchstone model? Thermocured Adi top, Madagascar rosewood b/s. Under $4K for a new Bourgeois with those tonewoods/specs? Pretty dang tempting and an amazing deal if you ask me. And as an Eastman fanboy, it's cool that Eastman is involved in the build process.

TAS did a live stream with Dana about these in case anyone missed it! John and TAS are the best too.

Bought a used acoustic guitar (Not an Eastman) online from Guitar Center several years ago.
I really liked the guitar, but it had mold inside it.
Really smelled & thought it was the case.
Set the case outside with the lid open in the sunshine when the sun was out. Odor still there.
Looked inside the guitar & saw tiny white flecks of mold.
Read quite a few articles on how to kill the mold. Most said you can never get rid of it.

Yes, you can. Here's how I killed it.

Had an aquarium hood light with two led lights. Each about the size of a domino.
Placed the lights inside the guitar for around 12 hours per day.
The first 5 days odor still there. After the 6th day & apprx 70 hours the mold was dead, never returned & the odor was gone
.

Hope there is some experience of this issue on here, can’t find any on the WebTube!

I have an L R Baggs Lyric pickup in my E10SS. I installed it myself about three years ago now. The sound hole volume control started to resonate/vibrate about two months ago. At first I thought it might be cabling inside, although I was careful not to have hanging wires, so double checked those, the battery pouch and the under saddle mic itself - all secure.

The volume control was the last thing I suspected. Stuck firmly to the underside of the sound hole but that was what was vibrating on certain notes (E, A & D mostly). I removed it, cleaned it and the residual glue on the underside, applied the spare adhesive and for good measure relocated it from about 11 o/clock to 12 o/clock position. Fine… for a fortnight!!

Now the vibration is back! New adhesive patch, new position. Could it be the control itself? Presence is turned all the way down, could that loosen something inside?

Anyone else experienced this?

Hey, 

New to the forum, but a friend 'who's in the know' sent these through pictures of what's supposed to be a new Eastman electric...I assume these must be coming out at the NAMM show tomorrow? 

Curious what you think!

SIAP, but are we hearing any rumors of what this year's new model(s) may be?

Has anyone A/B'd both? I'm on the hunt for an OM and have narrowed down my options to the E1OM, E6OM and E10OM - probably the thermo cured versions.

I'm looking to complement my Martin D-15 and E6-SS.

Matt Keefer posted this on the FB group:

"The beauty of Eastman is that they're built to a standard that only a few others can equal, but sold at a price that musicians can actually afford.

They represent a quality proposition that can't really be ignored."

EXACTLY!!
