Has anyone got one of these or tried one?
Apparently only 130 made Adi Spruce top
One has turned up 2nd hand and was wondering if anyone had any first hand experience.
thanks !

PV has one I think. It should be awesome if it's like the e1ooss-ltd or e1ss-ltd they put out. It's one of the few ways to get an actual 1 3/4 nut on their parlors.

There's an E1SS-LTD on Craigs List in Phoenix that I've been watching for a while now. But I can't do it, one of ya'll should grab it.

Think I will take a trip to try it out as its only an hours drive away even though they will deliver it free.

I would 100% buy one within an hour of me. I saw one pop up on reverb last week, but already have too many Eastman parlors. I think something about how they finished these really makes them sing.
Good luck!

Yes, we have one of these in our house. It's actually my daughter's first acoustic guitar, which I purchased new for her in 2018, and it has exceeded her (and my) expectations. Well balanced, nice tone, and the Adi top has some nice color in it now.
Here is the original NGD thread (both she and the guitar have grown up!):

I just grabbed an E100SS-LTD that popped up on reverb last week. Not sure if it was the same one you were talking about. But anyway, it's incredible. I've had a lot of Eastman guitars and a lot of their OMs especially. I have also had an E10P and several dreads and slopes. This E100SS-LTD is the best sounding small body I've ever played by Eastman and it is in the running for best small bodies I've ever owned period. It beats two PreWar 00-18s I've played hands down. It's very close with my one keeper small body, an Iris OG, but punchier and with better low end. I think this satin finish really helps open the tone up. The previous owner also swapped the undersaddle for a K&K so bonus there. It sounds great plugged in. The only knock for me is that the neck is a really slim 1 11/16". Reminds me of a Martin 00-15 neck.
So long story short if you see one, grab it, because I've got no plans of letting this one go

Looking forward to your thoughts. I ever did get close enough to Phoenix to see it.
