Would have cost me about 600 to buy and install TV Jonses on it, and I probably should have done that, as I find the thinner body and lighter weight...just more comfortable to play even while sitting.
Eastman from the beginning has been making awesome guitars and it sounds that the build quality is only getting better. I am very anxious to try out their les paul style model. It looks like they hit a home run with that. I regret selling the Eastman oval hole jazz guitar that I had when they first came to the US (it was number 62!) Maybe someday ill get another.
