New Eastman Owner
#1
Hello! Love this forum. Lots of good information and advice. I’m a first time poster and just received a new (to me) 2018 Eastman E1OM. I think it’s their entry level all solid wood guitar? I’m 67 and have only been playing for 4 years, so I’m not as good/knowledgeable as some of you are, but this is the best guitar I’ve ever played. I’ve been playing an Alvarez Artist series OM and it’s a nice guitar but this Eastman is louder, more articulate, and the neck seems more forgiving to a relative newbie like me. I took it in for a set up and the guitar tech said he loves Eastmans. I think I do too!

Hello and welcome. I too started playing at a later age 4 years ago. Just got my first Eastman a short time ago and like it so much a second one is coming.

Hi,
I received my Eastman e1ss SB a few days ago.
I can't believe how good it is.
I'm an old guitar player and I didn't think to discover such a magical instrument at this price.
Is someone already tried Gibson strings on that guitar?
Thanks for your answers

Congrats! Many here including myself have been impressed at how DR Rare PB's sound on Easties.
