The 12-frets provide a fuller sound b/c of the elongated body. It's probably the most balanced body shape of the ones discussed. The 00 SS is 14-fret, so you'll generally lose some of that. If you played a 00 SS and liked it (and it didn't seem boxy), then perhaps you should grab it before it gets away from you. Good luck!

That's fine by me. I've 7-string guitars over the years with wide necks, and my Yamaha LL16-12 has pretty wide and chunky neck. I played an E10-OO several months ago, that had a nice feeling neck. Unfortunately, I didn't like the way it sounded.

I have an Eastman E20P, which I purchased after starting Zoom lessons with Andy. His guitar sounded so good that I went out and picked one up last summer and I couldn't be happier with it. I find that it responds to flat picking very well. They are amazing little guitars with a very big tone. It's like the little brother to my Collings DS2H. Hearty bass response which doesn't overpower the beautiful high end.
Shortly after that I purchased an Eastman E10 OO, also a 12 fret guitar. After several months I ended up selling it. To my ears it sounded a bit boxy and never did open up like my E20P did. I'm not sure if it was the mahogany b/s combo but it never had the great bass response and high end articulation of that great little single O. The E10 sounded pretty darn good finger picked but it didn't like the flat pick at all. |

Based on the small sample size, I'll also add they are very nice looking - nice wood top, sides, back and even the neck; well built and finished.

I ordered the E20P today. Thanks to everybody for your input. Now I just have to wait 5 months, for the guitar to arrive. Oh well, we all know the guitar supply situation is a mess. Besides, it's not as though I don't have other guitars that I can play while I'm waiting. I'll survive.

Thanks, but I'm fine. My Epiphone Inspired by Gibson J45 will suffice.

I'm curious (because I'm also interested in these Eastmans), did you ever receive your E20P?

Based on her signature (see posts above), it seems she doesn't have it anymore (if she got it).
