I bought one of two they had in stock. Both were gone in days. Never made it to the site. I was lucky and had been waiting a year to get one. I got a limited sunburst one. Absolutely beautiful looking and sounding
I've never played an Eastman but that one sounds outstanding! Now, if they could make one in all-mahogany (maybe they do, I dunno...), that would be an absolute BOOMER!!

I have a Guild,12 string that I bought for nothing because I t had a big crack in the side of it. The guy told me 20 years ago that he would give me the $1550 guitar for 1000. They ended up selling it to me for $520 which was their cost. I’ve told many people I own the nicest sounding 12 string on earth. I love that they are heavy and that the sound has nowhere to go but out to fill the room. Once in a while, we get lucky in life. It’s still has the ‘big crack,’and is fine as can be.🎼🎼🎼
@@potterwalker4823well hot shot I just bought an epiphone 12 string and Gibson owns epiphone and the only difference between them besides the $5,000 I saved is not real mother of Pearl in lays and the name and headstock. Got my epiphone for $450 and the Gibson is $5,450. So I’ve got you beat. And yes I’ve played the guild. Sound and look wise it’s trash compared to mine. Now run along 🏃♂️
Don’t lie and say y’all didn’t tune that thing beforehand lol. I know you didn’t just walk up to a 12 that had been sitting for any length of time and it be in tune haha…
Amen, verily I say, Amen! Stopping by Guitar Villa inn Bozeman, MT for 20 minutes and playing one chord on the Eastman haunted me until I made my brother go back to Bozeman with me from Missoula to buy it.
Made where? Hard no to guitars made in CCP China until the Uhigars are free. Religious and other freedoms have to be a consideration. Do not support tyranny.
@tildencats9523 they are fantastic guitars! I also had a late 80s Sigma dreadnought that I gave to my other son. The little numbnuts traded it away. Grrrrr
Honestly those are two very different guitars when you compare their tonewoods and their body sizes. I wouldn't say either is better, they're just different, it depends on the style of music you want to play!
Did you know it has as stock .012 medium set of strings on it? Thats pretty heavy for a 12 string and might explain the great sound it has. I tried it with .010 strings, was a lot less impressive 😅
This model is at $1,079 and Eastman is releasing soon a dreadnought 12-string at $879 as well: www.theacousticshoppe.com/shop/Instruments/Guitars/Classical--12-String--Other-Guitar/p/Pre-Order-Deposit-Only-Eastman-E1D-12-DLX-Series-12-String-New-NAMM-Show-2024-Release-x79019047.htm
I hate the rear bridge on acoustic guitars. They can be a real pain to change strings sometimes. I'd much rather have an acoustic with a bolted on bridge similar to what is on a Stratocaster. Other than that I love the sound of a good acoustic guitar. I have a Gibson made Epiphone that sounds absolutely beautiful.
Umm….. I beg to differ. My walnut Taylor, 12 string jumbo is probably one of the best 12 string guitars as I’ve ever played and I played quite a few of them. The Mahogany is absolutely sweet also…..anyway, keep on rockin.
I finally got one 3 weeks ago. I bought the last one of the new batch they got in. Definitely limited quantities on these. They all sold in under a week. When i saw it i knew to snag it up immediately.
Sounded not good. No richness at all. My opinion. Yeah, my j-45 double-stringer is about 3 times that guitars price, but to me it’s worth it. I too have mahogany body-spruce top, but the tone/sound difference isn’t even a close comparison.
Agree, it sounded tinny and just lacks richness like you said. I posted above that the Guild F-512 is more or less the benchmark for a 12-String but I bet that J-45 sounds great too. I have a 1964 Hummingbird 6 string that sounds amazing. Always wanted to check out a J-45.
@@bluegryp it was AJ 45 that Lennon used on a Day in the life. What an incredibly sublime sound. And you can take that thing and play blues with it if you want. Great guitars can do it all.

Who gives a shit what a guitar costs. If you think like that, don’t buy one. You are going to have that guitar an entire lifetime so when you do the division on that it comes out to a few bucks a year.
1079 is more than 900 years ago. I do not believe you, this guitar was not built in 1079. Weird things, those Yanks say all the time. Wrong! Nothing came in at 1079, Vikings?!
Yep that’s the guitar he has had around the shop the longest and really needs to sell it
More like the one we can never keep in stock 😅
Lmaooooo noooo shit!!!
The comment section of UA-cam never disappoints! 😂

They used to make an all mahogany but they don't at the moment. Maybe one day they'll bring it back!
Just subscribed!
WOW that’s value
Did u say 1079? What does that mean?
I suppose it doesn’t come with a pick up for that price like the LR bags anthem?
This models does come with an LR Baggs EAS VTC

Takamine EF318sc is the Baddest sounding 12 string hands down.
Over double the price

Insane !!!! but incredible sounding.
I actually have 2 of them. I sell you one.
Sounds tinny to my ears
A job with " String's attached"😂😂
I don’t know it sounds kind of tinny to me
Lefty?
This model does not come in a lefty.
Except for one thing, I don't like the way it sounds.
Tuning would help.
I stick to my Ovation
But can you throw two pairs of regular strings on it?
Physically, yes but it is not ideal for the guitar. The string tension would be too much pressure for the neck.
It seams you have not played the seagull 12 strings. You might change your attitude
Actually, I even like the guild more than three seagulls... But seagull is quality
If you think the eastman guitar is the best you have in your shop, then i'm sorry your shop is so enimic
This thing sounds amazing. Did you hear the sound even from a crappy phone mic?
Guild f-512. Its the gold standard of 12 strings.
Agreed. Let’s have a comparison video.

I have the same one and put 13's on it and tuned down to "C" std. Bb vestapol, F spanish for bottleneck
How would you compare that to the guild gad 1512. Solid rosewood back and sides
Made where? Hard no to guitars made in CCP China until the Uhigars are free. Religious and other freedoms have to be a consideration. Do not support tyranny.
I'm so sick of the high profile neck on my 12 string. I'm seriously considering an Eastman. My daddy had one but left it to my brother.
£10-79pence, Blimey thats cheap, lol.
D'angelico Fulton sounds way better than that thing is half the price.
You can switch these back and forth from 6 to 12 and back again.
I'll take it? ....you accept food stamps?🤔
$10.79?
I'll take two please.
10 dolla 79 very cheap amazing
His profit margins must be highest on Eastman's. Every single one of these "best in shop" videos he recommends an Eastman.
Not really, we just find they are easily just the best bang for your buck.
No cutaway so u can’t do the requintos for ma corridos 🗣️
Indian price ?
I want this guitar 🎸
Sorry, nothin' beats my Martin.
my Taylor 655ce blows it away.
Sound great .
My son has a early 80s Takamine 12 string dreadnought. There is a reason Martin sued them. It sounds fantastic. I am sure I bought it for under $500.

Wheres the takamine ???
How to buy that guitar?
Oh boy! I saw a lefty.
Want one!!! Have a PCH gafc and it's the best playing, sounding acoustic ever had
takamine beats it
Does anyone know of any jumbo 12 stringers that have a really thick neck? I hate thin necks 😂
Overpriced too
Gibson beats it
I guess we have different definitions of “very affordable”
guild better.
Hohner!
Try a guild
$10.79 ? $1,079? $10,979 ? Which is it ? 😳
$1,079
Better than a fraulini 12 string?

No pickup ! Forget it 😢

Yes, the jumbo guild f512 is the flagship of 12 street guitars
Taylor 350E, left-handed, it's an incredible 12 string. Bought for 1700 used. I love it!
Dude sounds just like Charlie Day
John gets that a lot 😂
I instantly thought of the song Free Falling by Tom Petty
What's your favorite non Eastman haha
John says, no matter the price range, this is his favorite 12-String guitar!
❤that sound
Has anyone ever told you that you look like Brad Kalvo?
Are you one of those shops that doesn't carry real brands?
I think my Epi sounds and looks better
For your Pink Floyd enthusiasts 🎉

Really appreciate the info, hearing you strum it, and learning that it has a low profile neck.
What is a low profile neck? Does it mean it looks discrete

Its really the same as tuning a 6 string ! Once you know the octaves its easy . Dont let that discourage you !
Can you get a 6 string in the same model?
Eastman does not make one, no
My Yamaha FG-630 I bought in Japan in 1972 is still the same cannon it's always been.
