Hi folks,
I'm a 2nd time and very pleased Eastman owner. I foolishly sold my 1st E6om a couple of years ago and regretted doing so. This E6om TC was recently purchased used but in excellent condition from a local store. I have to say that this guitar is a real joy to play and the setup is just about perfect.
I believe it has an Alpine spruce top as there is a certificate in the case indicating so. I'm wondering how Alpine compares to Sitka and Adirondack, either way however the guitar sounds fantastic.
Thanks, SG

Welcome to the club SG! Ccongratulations on having picked up good looking and highly regarded Eastman. I have never played an Alpine Spruce guitar but would certainly like to. Others will no doubt weigh in.

Welcome, SG! In my opinion, Alpine sits between Sitka and Adirondack (Red) spruce, displaying some characteristics of both.

Hey Sunriseguy - welcome! Not sure about Alpine, but I can say that my E6 OM (sitka) is outstanding in every way - I play it on several of my videos on my YouTube channel. Glad you found us and welcome to the forum - hopefully you aren't snowed in there in Minnesota!

Thanks for the welcome guys, hoping to add another Eastman or two in the near future. In the mean time I'll be playing and enjoying this lovely OM a lot.

PS: No worries about being snowed in this Christmas, forecast calls for near 50 degrees with rain.

Welcome from a fellow Minnesotan, newcomer to the forum, and a recent Eastman owner!
That's a nice OM you have. I just added a E6OM-TC to my guitars, but with a Sitka top. No Alpines could be found when I was shopping.
Again... Welcome aboard!
