I have an Eastman T484 (Like an ES339) and really love it - VERY well made, sounds & plays like a dream. One day the wind caught it during a break at an outdoor gig, and it flew 12 feet and landed on concrete - with no damage!
@GS-uy4xo2 ай бұрын
That’s amazing - had to be a look of sheer horror during the process! I bought a Romeo due to a good price but I was really wanting the 484, I wonder if it’s worth having both or are they close enough to each other to skip over it. 🤔

Eastman does make great guitars but I wound up going the other way. The T59 just didn't sound like a 335. I sold mine and got a Gibson Memphis 335 from 2018. I am very happy with it.
@GS-uy4xo2 ай бұрын
I live in China and believe or not, not too many players here are using Eastman. I play a Romeo and every gig a few players ask what kind of guitar I’m using. There’s a few models to be had used at just over 1,000$ - not cheap, but what you get is beyond great. The LA version is currently up against the Juliet with the P90’s - such a great time to be a guitar player ✊🏼!

I think Tim could very well be the Bob Ross of guitar KZfaqrs, so chill with killer spirit. A lot of his career success most likely has to do with attitude and spirit as much as it has to with his talent. Here is what appears to be the definition of success for musical artist//: Someone who has earned a relevant career the hard way and now is just sharing the joy with the world.

Haven't played any Eastman electrics, but I'm a BIG fan of their acoustics. Their lower priced offerings play like more expensive guitars, IMO, and their Grand Auditorium size design is just about perfect for me. Not too bulky like a Dreadnought, nice and comfortable on the lap, but still with enough volume on the voice. The two I have both have some nice depth to their tone, with pretty overtones on the Sitka and Ovangkol one. They're a good guitar company. They make nice stuff, at least based on what I've played so far.
