    Tim, Is this wider, like a tele?
    So I looked up the Juliet's specs and they dont have that spec.
    But . . . they have a wide nut-width! The 1.72" Gibson acoustic nut-width that I find so great. Especially with their round 12" radius most acoustics don't have. This guitar could be that smooth player with a tad more room for adult chords?

I think Tim could very well be the Bob Ross of guitar UA-camrs, 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.

Challenge yourself and play the same 'hard parts' hundreds of times before moving to the next part of the song. Again...really improved my skills and muscle memory via rote repetition.

  • @seanbaines
    @seanbaines Рік тому

    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.
