The quote about it being a discontinued model were from a dealer, Penny Lane Emporium. I just repeated what I read at that time.
Re: mennace's question above, I don't know how many were made or if they will continue making them. The initial discussion (see beginning of the thread) was that five made it into the U.S. LA Guitar Sales got one, Penny Lane and (I think) Blues Angel got one each... not sure who got the others.
There is a page for this model, but it's not accessible via Eastman's main page. In other words, if you click on Acoustic guitars, then Grand Auditorium size, and then AC series, the AC922 is not listed in the models list. But who knows with Eastman?

My guess is that this was a limited run, and that run is complete.

As you say PV - you never know with Eastman. Anybody who is serious about owning one would lose nothing by asking. If they did it would likely be a long lead time and very expensive - bit like ordering an AC630.

Off topic: do you still own your AC630-BD? What do you like / not like? You can PM me or reply via another thread, so we don't hijack this one.

the second hole is a plus. they both are similar in sound but the second hole allows makes it louder! but if you want buy the 822.............i would say the 822 is MUCH better . and i think i look cooler when playing the 922 !

Congrats! Those inlays are a work of art. Please post a more detailed review, once you've spent some time with your new guitar. Cheers!
