Eastman stops using Nitro switches to Truetone

[sleigh]

The use of Nitro vs. another finish isn't a deal-killer to me personally if the new finish sounds comparable and is more durable/better environmentally/more cost effective. What bothers me is the lack of clear communication from Eastman as to the changes and when (and why) they occurred. I have to wonder if that's not a cultural issue.

All I know for certain is that I have four excellent guitars from Eastman that I don't see myself getting rid of anytime soon. And if one day I have the disposable income for another guitar (like maybe an AC622CE?), I'll still look at Eastman (but will probably also check out other brands as well.)
