i bought my 2014 used, two years ago because i couldn't stand not having a Martin 000-28 style guitar anymore — the size and scale are perfect for me.
i finally got a great 52-year old Brazilian rosewood 000 two weeks ago.
i am keeping this now-redundant-to-me sized Eastman for its own exceptional self — which was not the plan.
That's what i think of this E10.
I have an untested sense that wood quality and workmanship have declined in the five years since mine was made, based on a sparse handful of comparisons.
