I recently picked up the rosewood brother - E15SS. I would like a matching set. If anyone has one they are willing to move, please drop me a not. Thanks

There weren't a lot of them made so availability might be limited. I have one, it's my gigging guitar. I have a Baggs Anthem installed in it. Love the guitar, an LG-2 "reproduction" I'd call it.

Good luck with your search.

I thought I would bring this back up.

Good luck...they are rare and seemingly never for sale.
I would think with his relationship and influence, Ted would be able to talk Eastman into another run of the E5SS. When I asked him in the past, he kind of changed the subject or chuckled.

I would think he could get deposits on 10 and get them sold before they even arrived.

I talked with him about these a few weeks back. He said that with the new USA custom shop it would not happen (and he's tried.)

Still looking for the elusive needle in a haystack

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

tomcstokes59 · #9 09-08-2020, 07:33 AM

And a new bump. Thanks

tomcstokes59 · #10 09-15-2020, 08:54 AM

Might as well bump it back up

Wouldn't be super expensive used as the street price new was around $1000. But as has been said there weren't that many made so any coming up for sale would be few and far between. You likely need to monitor every online sales site there is and hope you get lucky.

just a quick note that I am still interested and looking. Thanks

But let's go ahead and give it once more around the block.

There is a gorgeous '49 LG-2 that I would be a great addition. Unfortunately by budget will only allow for something that was modeled after those old Gibson small bodies. Still interested. Thanks

Elderly Instruments in Michigan has Farida guitars in stock with some LG-2 style models available. You might try looking at those.
