I have and play both Martins and Eastmans....there is no comparison to be made. They are entirely different creatures. Each has its merits and limitations (that can be said about ANY manufacturer comparison) and BOTH are excellent instruments.
However, if you like and can afford a solid wood Martin..shop until you find that fits your hand, your ear and your body size and go for it...you will never regret buying a Martin Guitar.
Eastman Guitars will be around for a long time to come...one may be in your future...or not.
