So I wasn't planning on buying an electric guitar, but I happened to be browsing Reverb and stumbled across this T386 for a good price. I then made an offer that was low enough I thought there was no way it would be accepted, but it was! Both exciting and terrifying because I knew I was going to have to sell a few things. The price was low enough that I actually got worried that I'd been scammed (which happened once and was awful). But I received it and it is incredible.
It was produced in March, and looks completely brand new and flawless. So I basically got a brand new guitar for a low used price. I have a feeling it was a COVID purchase that needed to be sold.
Now having an Eastman electric in addition to an E10 OM and E10 P, I am uncertain as to whether I am more impressed with the acoustics or electrics. I love the classic finish, and the grain is breathtaking. The fretboard has a very subtle streak in it, which looks amazing. Also, the older headstock was fine, but I very much prefer the new smaller one.
I like the pickups (Kent Armstongs) as they are very PAF and I don't play any high gain stuff so the output is just right. the only change I may make is to add a bigsby. It's a winner in every way.
Thanks for reading!
