Default Eastman E8OM vs Recording King RO-328

Has anyone had a chance to do a hands on comparison between these 2 000 short scale guitars? I'm trying to decided between the two and am trying to get some first hand comparisons. Not interested in Dreadnought versions.

Thank you for any insights.

I have not played them, only the dread versions. But — an apples to apples comparison would be an E20OM with Adi top like the RO-328. Hope that helps.

So what's your take on the D version of the two guitars?

Thank you

Call Brian at sun valley guitars. He sells both of these models. He will be honest with you in what he thinks. I have a feeling he would say go with the E8om but just call and see what he says.

He'll even make you an audio file if you want while he plays both of these guitars (if he has them in stock). I'll bet he recommends the Eastman over the RK, too. He's always told me that he thinks the Eastmans are better than the RKs.
