I have never heard of a Stanford before. Spoiled as I am, it is hard to make a serious comparison between between brands of such diverse models and qualities as though they represented one quality entity in each case. I will say that the best Eastman's represent a build quality which is far superior to anything I personally have seen in the other brands. Not unlike trying to compare Martin's standard series to Gibson's or Taylor's production guitars. Eastman has been at it for some time and have put quality and long term commitment as high priorities.
