For a video that is supposed to compare the sound quality of two guitars, I’m surprised he didn’t use a proper musical recording setup. I can’t hear much of a difference between the two guitars and, in any event, it is almost impossible to assess a guitar by an internet video. My personal experience with recording is that you can completely and utterly change the sound of just about any guitar by moving the mic around.
Regardless, he’s not going to change anyone’s mind with that video, particularly since his sample size is one guitar of each brand (one of which is used). I’ve never played an Eastman but believe it’s possible they sound great. Of course, their value proposition depends 100% on cheap labor and a different standard of living.
