First post, and let me say that it's good to see an Eastman specific site, I will do my best to "spread the word" for you. I saw this site mentioned on the tapatalk site which I am not a member of but visit there infrequently.
That said, at this time I only have one Eastman a recently acquired T165 MX. It's a single cut MX, the back sides, and 3 piece neck are mahogany, the top is fiddle back maple and the FB is ebony. In every respect this is a first rate. Compared to any of the Gibson models I own (which is a few) of very similar construction (semi hollow single cut) it stands shoulder to shoulder to, and definitely takes a back seat to none of them.
Unfortunately for me, I discovered Eastman gits too late to avoid some mistakes in the past, but I think I may not be buying another. At some point I was considering a T186MX, as well as an AR372CE but this one is so darn good I'm not playing very many other gits at this point and can't justify the expense.
