Unplanned NGD....
I was looking at Eastman OM's for a next guitar sometime next year, ideally mahogany with spruce top. Anyway, browsing a ebay yesterday I came across an Eastman E60M TC for a very reasonable price. As my luck would have it the vendor lived just 4 miles away. It was really too good to miss so one click and a phone call later I was on my way. The guitar is 4 months old and the vendor was clearing some of his collection of guitars, the Eastman not having been played much since purchase. It is in mint condition and plays beautifully, very good tone and well balanced. I think the E20D may have to take a bit of a back seat for a while as the OM is exactly the sound I am looking for currently. The neck, scale length and nut width are perfect for finger picking (for me) and it flat picks and strums very well. Glad I took the plunge and didn't dither as I would have missed an absolute bargain! (also my wife said I would need to get another Lakota strap so I know she doesn't really mind another guitar and case in the house

That is a beautiful looking back on that guitar. Congrats!
Do you mind sharing what you paid for it? If not, no worries.

Cool! As you were looking at these guitars it was more of a all the pieces falling conveniently into place things. You do have to love it when that happens. For me guitars are something that just seem to happen when I am busy making other plans. No planning involved. Honestly, it crawled into my hands.
