Gonna be a fun afternoon/evening.  Enjoy!

I look forward to reading your detailed analysis, and especially comparisons with your other Eastmans.  

Enjoy!

My E8D-TC arrived this morning.  Full NGD thread to follow separately, but initial impressions leave me extremely impressed.  I swapped out the stock D'Add strings for my usual GHS PB lights and have it sitting beside me until I finish up some work.

Could possibly be the best sounding guitar under $3000 on planet earth.

So what's up with the E20oo-ss stock at Dave's?  They have 5! of them.  I don't think I've ever seen one of them sell (in the past few months of stalking that page.)

Maybe the combination of smaller body and narrow nut width / string spacing has a smaller customer base than their regular 00 and the larger bodies (dread, OM).  If I am buying a 00, I want at least 1-3/4" nut width (probably wider, if I played fingerstyle), and I'd want a 12-fret 00, so I get the longer upper bout (fuller sound).  Those 00 SS are good for strumming and blues, as long as you don't have big hands like mine.

Wanted to throw an update out there that Dave's has some great prices on a few used Eastman's.  I picked up a E8OM (non TC) last night for the best price I have seen used.  They have a E10OM-TC that I was debating on with the E8OM, but ended up wanting to get a rosewood.  There are also a few other great prices I saw as well on their inventory of used Eastmans.  Good luck!

Thanks for the update, Matt.  Looking forward to your NGD thread!

Ok, which one of you did it?

Looks like a steal - and stolen!

Wow... sweet model!  Where did that come from??
