Eastman acoustics

[eyesore]

Just wondering about these guitars I saw one [OO model] that is 1 3/4 at the nut . It seems all their guitars that I look up are all 1 11/16 at the nut. any body own a E20ooss?

No triple ooo Eastman here but I own 2 dreads one 4 years old the other 1 month. I like the quality of the build and the sound and the price. The 4 year old Eastman is a E20D Adi and rosewood it's opened up into an amazing cannon. I've been using it more and more for bluegrass it's so close to my 04 HD28 I can no longer tell which is better.

I have an Eastman J-45 copy in sapele and Adirondack spruce that’s a terrific guitar; I love it and play it as much as my custom guitars and my Martins. Since I bought it used it’s definitely a candidate for the best guitar for the money that I own.

You can look up the specs on Eastmans website. The e10-OOSS and e20-OOSS have a 1–11/16" nut. The e10-OO and e20-OO have a 1–13/16" nut. None of them, to my knowledge, have exactly 1–3/4.

Eastman acoustics guitars are made with 1 11/16”, 1 3/4” and 1 13/16” nuts. The 1.75” are their traditional and AC series with the exception of slope shoulder models (dreads and 00s). The slope models are typically 1 11/16”. The models with 1 13/16” are the parlor (0) and 00 12 fret models (not slope shoulders as the 00 SS is a 14 fret model). Because of the hand made manufacturing it is not rare to find variances.

Just measured the nut on my E20ooss & it's dead on 1.75" - maybe I got lucky?

It seams like not a week goes by without the Eastman nut size topic coming up :0

Def got lucky. My daughter's 12-fret 00 LTD was supposed to be 1-11/16", but it came in at 1-3/4", so we got lucky too!

As Tom C mentions above, the 1-3/4" is the standard for most models. The 12-fret parlor (0 size) and 12-fret 00 are 1-13/16", and the slope models (00 and slope dread sizes) are 1-11/16" (both nitro and varnish finishes).

I'm actually selling my 2018 E10SS/v b/c i fumble too much with the narrow nut / spacing.
