Default 2016 Eastman E6OM SOLD

SOLD to a local AGFer, oddly enough! Good deal for both of us.



This is a really nice Eastman OM. Please click the link to my CL ad for a bunch of photos (and that way I don't have to fight with Photobucket!)

I got into mahogany guitars recently, after being a rosewood guy my whole life. Ended up with 2 Eastmans, and was so blown away by their tone that I took a big step up to a mahogany Martin looking for even more of the same. Would like to keep this Eastman, but I could use the $$$ to fund the Martin.

Guitar is like new except for one small scuff on the back. Also, the pickguard in the photo is NOT attached, it's just laying on the top. It is a very nice custom Holter Pickguard, way better than the one that came with the Eastman. Case is like new, and includes all the stuff that comes with a new guitar.

$500 plus $50 shipping (I'll refund any difference) to a fellow AGFer. Please check the link for specs and photos, and let me know if you have any questions.

string spacing C-t-C in mm at the nut please? I have observed that, while listed as a 1.75" nut, Eastman's often have more narrow string spacing than is typical for that nut width (less than the common 38mm").

I'm guessing that C-t-C means "center to center", correct?

I measure it at 38mm.

Thanks, and let me know if you need any further measurements.

I'm not sure what the 38mm string to string spacing spec on the 1+3/4" nut width reputation is but I do know, from owning an Eastman that the one very odd spec is the narrow string spacing at the bridge. I believe mine is 2+3/16" outer-to-outer.

Monday morning bump for all you guys who just got to work and are drinking coffee and doing a bit of guitar shopping before getting to it....

That was me, anyway, before I retired.

Thank you Ken!
I purchased this E60M today, 11-7-16
Golly, you live in my home town!
Apparently The Lord wanted me to find this excellent
guitar! I just got home from work, tuned it up to perfection,
and spent and hour in the studio with it.
The intonation is spot on all the way up the fret board!
Oh My, what a marvelous instrument.
The depth of the sound as well as the sustain
and upper register harmonics are simply beyond belief!
Reading along AGF, I have heard of these guitars,
but I have never actually seen or played one! Wow!
She's a real keeper!
It appears we Nebraskans might be stuck indoors
for the winter! Bummer!!
Thanks again!

Glad you're happy with it, Byron, it is a sweet guitar. I enjoyed your guitar playing today!

These Eastman guitars are really something. I hope to have another someday.
