I own an Eastman E6SS-TC and can honestly say it's beautifully crafted, sounds and plays superbly, the best guitar I could buy after trying over 30 different guitars from many brands over a month.
Hats off to the craftsmen and luthiers at Eastman! This is the way guitars USED to be made in the USA. Now most of them are made on CNC machines, not by hand like Eastman. I can hardly imagine the great things to come from this exciting company.
They still are idiot! Martin STILL makes there’s by hand in the USA using some of the same equipment they’ve had for over 150 years! And unlike this Chinese propaganda they’re worth something!
Beautiful craftsmanship! So impressive. My Eastman AC422CE is a gorgeous guitar and now I see why hat is. Kudos and much appreciation to all the talented souls working at the Eastman Factory.
Bought a new Eastman AC 522 CE GB 3/11/24 . I have tried many different instruments over the last few yrs with only finding one all mahogany Taylor that i really liked , but it did not have a arm bevel which the Eastman does and is very important to me because i have arthritis in my hands and arms , well the arm bevel fit the bill perfectly .The price , choice of wood , play ability and sound quality of this instrument is unbelievable ... I tip my hat to all of the hard working Craftsman at Eastman.
i would beware of eastman acoustic guitars i bought 2 one cracked my music dealer contacted eastman they replaced it now 3 years later the other one has cracked even larger than the other one .they are kept in a humidified room in the case .i think they dont let the wood cure long enough.i have eastman electric and semi hollow body with no issues but the acoustics were horrible its been 3 years so i think im out with no replacement on the second one i have many guitars and ukuleles ans mandolins eastmans are the only 2 that crack sad because they sound very good and play great also but not stable
Exactly! I seriously must wonder if that many people here are that stupid to believe these are worth what they cost or if they’re being paid by the Chinese government to praise this crap!
As an old guy looking for my last guitar, to play into retirement, my thoughts are, who knows if these lovely instruments will be affordable or even available a year from now?
Dana Bourgeois entered into a contract with them a couple years ago which speaks volumes. I don't think either one of them are going anywhere anytime soon.
With the way the world is going right now, you dont know which way the wind will be blowing next week. I totally understand. Hand made or not, if you can support American jobs. Or other musicians and buy gently used with love and care. Just get what you want if its your last and only one into retirement. Dont cut corners. Buy what you want for life. These are probably great for gigging players that dont want to take the expensive guitars out to gig. But you probably wont be doing that but occasionally. So get your dream guitar dont settle.
No thanks! I’d rather support American craftsmanship than give anything else to the Chinese to end up making quickly and cheaply as possible! Also there’s such a thing called resale value. An American Martin will always be worth something and it’s almost guaranteed to increase, these things you buy today will be worthless in five years at most!
I wish Eastman would follow through on the Thermo cured tops as they promised at least a year ago or at the very least use an aged toner on there guitars

This is real craftsmanship!
A bunch of Chinese slaves? LOL! There’s literally hundreds of videos on UA-cam showing people making guitars! Why not watch Martin!

Just ordered an E3OME . I am excited . Best Luthiers in China 👍
Well, that's settled. The next one is an Eastman!
You’re a fool then.
what is the name of the song used for the BMG?
Hell. I’ve now purchased my second Eastman. Sorry Taylor Martin and Gibson. You can’t offer this amount of craftsmanship.
I am waiting for my new E20D !!
I'm waiting for my T186mx Blonde guitar!! Can't wait! btw this song is amazing
What’s the cover song here? I have a T486 and an AC322 awesome guitars. Loved seeing the craftsmanship 😢
Cover song is "If We Shall Fall" by Remmelt, Muus & Femke
Just subscribed. Thanks for the video. Is there any footage of Solid body builds?
Love the Paul McCartney music
What song is this??
why is the video so low-res. It is so blurred it hard to make out any detail
my guess is that there is plenty of automation nowadays. this was 12 years ago.
Might have been a good idea to have someone playing guitar, maybe even an Eastman for the audio.
Woooooooow

What a horrible factory lol

Just bought one. I think their niche is affordable hand made, so guessing they'll always be cheaper than martins, etc. But, who knows.

ok
They are handcrafted
Wow! All by hand with chisel?
I would love to have a AC222CE someday, sounds and plays beautiful. But price is quite out of my range.
I wish Eastman would follow through on the Thermo cured tops as they promised at least a year ago or at the very least use an aged toner on there guitars
Cracks!
where do you buy these things ? I've looked and googled - what's up with that ? what gives ?!?
Don't know where you are located, but they have LOADS of dealers in USA. It's easy to find on the Eastman Guitars website.
Love China and the Guitars they make.
