Eastman T386 Semi Hollow

Hey Garcon... still not working unfortunately.  

This looks like it might be a quick and easy alternative to share audio if you want to give it a shot

Thanks Meathead, that service looks interesting. I may have another place to post soon but if that doesn't pan out I will try it.

By chance did you try my link in a Chrome browser? When I click on it there are the expected audio controls but they look possibly Flash based or perhaps there is something that foils things if opened in a non-Google browser.

Let me try a link to an image of my T486.

And I tried one more thing on the Google link to my MP3 audio.

Garcon - the picture worked! The MP3 still no go for some reason..

Good looking 486 - is that wine red or purple color? Difficult to tell from the lighting..

Ok, one file works! I'll figure out something for tbe audio.

The T486 is just black (T486-BK). But it has a fairly thin finish which does sometimes almost  look like what is called transparent black. I guess the stronger the light, the more this comes out. My Sheraton is always just solid black.

Welcome, nopicknick! Those are two stunning guitars. Love that classic color combo on the T386.

[nopicknick]

Thanks for the welcome. Glad to find this site too because I really appreciate these instruments.

Gorgeous! What does the 59v weigh? Is it similar to a Les Paul in tone and playability?

[nopicknick]

Not sure of the weight, but it is pretty light for a "single cut" style guitar. I have owned a ton of guitars....I mean a ton. My 59v is head and shoulders above them all. Everything is perfect. I will be changing nothing on this guitar. A pure joy to play.

I have a T145. Different beast than the semi models, of course. It's fully hollow, solid carved spruce top, single cutaway, and it's a nice guitar. It's actually louder acoustically than my Gibson J45. Totally different timbre, of course, much less bass response, but it's a ~2" thick archtop, so no surprise there. I've never been turned on by semis, but they are very popular. It's a matter of taste, and everyone has different preferences.
