Eastman has been playing fast and loose with their specs for a long time now; string spacing measurements have been more a suggestion than a standard, tops COULD be sikta or maybe they're Alpine, areas that are unbraced on one E6D might be braced on another E6D, neck carves? you pays your money and you takes your chance. To say nothing of the B-stock guitars that are advertised at low-low prices, without any acknowledgement that they're B-stock.
When these deviations are occasionally mentioned here, participants usually chalk it up to the "handmade" nature of Eastman, and it's all good.
I understand the frustration expressed by those of you mildly disappointed to up in arms about the (secret) switch to Truetone, but come on, why are you surprised?
