New to Eastman, and mostly new to hollow body/thinline. Did have (and just sold) a PRS semi-hollow but that really is a kinda-chambered solid body. Way back when had an ES330, long forgotten.
Anywho, the Romeo seemed like a good fit for what I wanted. Ordered one last week and it showed up - fantastic instrument. The Lollars sound great and setup is spot-on. I may try some balanced tension 11-50 on it as I tune a half-step flat and would like a bit more tension on the low E but otherwise can't really think of anything I'd change.
I liked it so much I figured I'd look for an arch top. I don't care for larger bodies, and the AR603CED-15 seemed to be the closest so I rolled the dice again. That showed up this morning, so far so good. I haven't had an arch top since...well, never. Closest was an ES330 way back in the dark ages. Anywho, just living out a life slogan, "if something is worth doing its worth overdoing."
And now to continue the woodshedding on new wood!
