I posted these in an NGD thread, but I'll repost them here. My new E20OM-SB, which I've been playing a lot since it arrived two months ago. It's a really nice addition to my collection and surprisingly different (a little darker) sounding than its E40OM twin.

thinking of getting a AC322CE or AC422CE. Anyone have any opinions on either of these?

Also anyone know if the models they sell at Arts & Music are the same exact guitars? For example they have a FE422CE that they sell for $699 which is about $200 less than most places sell the AC422CE for.

Posted a couple weeks ago in the main forum, but here's my latest acquisition -

Eastman E40-OM - in ultra cool sunburst. Adirondack top, Indian Rosewood back and sides, ebony fingerboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, abalone out the wazoo.

As an Eastman owner, I can tell you, folks, these guitars sound as good as they look. They are doing some scary wonderful things over there at Eastman.

I've read elsewhere that they're the same... the model # is an exclusive to A&M.

Wow, stunning.

I just added a 10 year old Eastman Mandolin to go along with my Eastman Mahogany Parlor.
I've been a big fan of them for 5-6 years now. Now, on to learning how to play it.

The scary part is that I want just about every guitar Eastman makes. Sure wish I could win the lottery.

Doc, I hear ya.

Folks, I wanted to share something.

There are varying opinions about Eastman guitars. However, this evening I was in a jam with a room full of fifteen players -- lots of Martins, Gibsons, a few Taylors. My Eastman slope dread holds its own against all these brands. For someone who gives them a fair trial and a real test, you will come away very impressed. These are just very fine guitars, no matter the price.

Anyone with an Eastman AC model (grand auditorium) add a strap pin to their guitar or do you just attach your strap to the headstock? Why do acoustics still come without a top strap pin???

Also, how do you like the Fishman Matrix electronics? Is it sufficient for playing out or do you use a preamp/DI box or have you replaced the pickup system entirely?

I recently acquired a AC422ce and am still in the evaluation stage, but it has a nice rounded tone. Not as bright as a Taylor, with a little more fullness to the sound. Would love to hear from other Eastman owners.

Just gotta once again add my props for Eastman. I just acquired an OM-40 that is stunningly good. Don't believe the folks who say, "They're good for the money." No. They're just flat-out great guitars.

Eastman makes a tremendous guitar for the money. I have owned several over the past few years; an E10SS, an E20OMTC, a T64/v, an ACOM1, and a MD-315 Mando.
All were built well, sounded and played great, and proved to be roadworthy instruments. I am definitely an Eastman fan!
