E6D TC 1 year anniversary.
#1
I have had my E6D TC with an alpine top for about a year now.
I bought it new, which I don’t often do, as used guitars are so much more affordable.
This guitar continues to impress me. It’s balance and power are outstanding. It really gets loud when strummed hard! But it’s headroom is remarkable.
When played softly it’s complexity and imagery is outstanding.
The Eastman cases are among the best looking and fitting cases I have.
I have many more expensive guitars, but I have very few I consider to be the equal or better than this E6D.
I do wish it had an 11/16 neck instead of 3/4.
But it’s construction and material are world class.
The “True Tone” finish seems to be a little more resistant to scratches than the older nitro fini E40D I own.
The figuring in the Khaya back is really 3D and beautiful.
This may be the “best” all around guitar I own!
I will be looking to acquire more Eastmans in the future.
If only the dealer here in Memphis would get more used ones in trade!!

Happy Guitar-iversary!  My E6D-TC (Alpine) arrived one year ago next weekend.  They're such great guitars.  Glad you're loving yours too!

Without checking my records, mine would be about a year old as well. Love mine as well.

I really hope that Eastman brings back these Alpine models someday (perhaps with their own model #s, LOL).  They're really something special.

I have a pre-order in for a E20D-MR-TC. To be completely honest, I would really love to hear that guitar with a TC Alpine top. Again - I should never have sold the E6D-TC and the buyer won't sell it back to me.

Thanks for the good read. The Alpine models are really jumping to the top of my list, I need to stop reading these threads!

Oh and I agree the Eastman cases are really nice!
