And again, I get why people are upset with Eastman not being forthcoming about the finish switch. But I'm doubling down on my belief that with Truetone comes a chance for real improvement in the finishes.
Anecdotal testimonial; I have an E10D, dated March 2019. So I assume it's nitro. But it's not as, I don't know, integrated as the nitro on my Martin or the "Full-Pore Vintage Hand-Brushed Finish" (whatever that is) on my Furch. By comparison, it feels more laminated than finished. Yes, it's nitro, but Eastman is still working on that learning curve. Having Dana Bourgeois as a partner/consultant, can only help.
So, yeah. Looking forward to getting my hands on an Eastman with Truetone.
