Default 2021 Eastman E8OM-TC (Alpine Top) $900 + ship (SOLD)

Just bought this in late April and subsequently bought an E10OM SB and an E20OM-TC and one had to go. I have leaned toward preferring the Adi tops on the other two. The top on this one is the Alpine Spruce version. Barely played this guitar and it is a great guitar but if I get another guitar I want something that is very different than the two I have.

Depending on location I'm willing to negotiate on the shipping costs.

Was this guitar a special order? Eastman's official site lists the top as sitka spruce.

This is a great deal! There are VERY few of these Alpine topped E6 and E8 models out there. This is a limited run. I have heard that these Swiss tops were sourced by Dana Bourgeois when Eastman was having trouble finding torrefied Sitka tops.

I watch The Acoustic Shoppe (TAS) YouTube channel (I like the new guitar videos…lol) and they got a few runs of these in; just a few at a time. The guy who owns the shop said they sold them as soon as they got them in, so I would think the folks who got to a/b them with Sitka tops liked what they heard.

Any chance this is short-scale?
