About two years ago I tried the full ine of Eastman OMs (OM6, OM8, OM10, OM20) and was impressed by all of them - but really fell in love with the OM-8. Unfortunately (or fortunately) The one at the store was already spoken for - so I had them order another one for me. When it arrived, I opened the case and was pleasantly stunned by absolutely gorgeous bearclaw figure across the top.

Oh, yeah, and it sounds rich, clear, and beautiful too. Love this guitar.

Eastman lover between Eastmans, here. It's been a journey. First Eastman was an AC 322 in 2012, one of those with the delicate finish. Later, sold that... Got an E20 SS in 2014, comfortable to play, worked great as a church strummer... but due to space, sold it when I got my dream dread, a Songwriter. So, now I would like to add an Eastman E6 or E10 OM to the household, or maybe a 14-fret E10 OO.

No pics but E6OM and AC-OM2 owner here.

I have also owned an AC522 (stellar but too big for me) and an HE122 that had crummy intonation and finish issues.

Hey, UncleJoe - those Eastman Mandos are little cannons, aren't they?

My wife has an MD305 that was the best sounding mando in the room w/others up to about 1.5K. She loves it.
