I was seriously considering this E16SS because of the stunning bearclaw top. I noticed it finally sold on Reverb, and hope someone on here got it. Anyone get this one? It's amazing to me that Eastman would provide such a stunning all solid wood and extremely bearclaw top at only $1500. There's a guy on YT that bought this model and said that the same build spec at Martin or Taylor would've cost $5,000.
Does anyone own this model yet?? I'm really interested in it. I want another dread, and I love the aesthetics of this guitar. I just have no experience with maple b/s. I've read it has strong fundamentals like hog?
I've also never had an Adi Top. I mainly play fingerstyle or light strumming. Jazz chord structures. Rarely do I use a flat pick. So with that being said, isn't Adi really best served for someone that has a more aggressive attack? With that being said, I'm wanting to learn more bluegrass and flat-picking styles.
Thanks! And man are we blessed to have such great guitars in Eastman.
