I have no affiliation with the guitar or seller, but I know a few of you are interested in the AJ series guitars. This one on the Seattle Craigslist looks like a great deal at $1000.

I'm new to the forum and couldn't find an answer to my question, my apologies if it has been asked before.

I bought my E8D from GuitarGuitar in Edinburgh in late December and I've been letting it settle before trying some new strings. The guy in the shop put a new set of D'addario's onto the guitar when I bought it. I had used D'addario's before on my Yamaha L6 and found that Martin Retro's sounded way better, would they improve the sound of my E8D?

I had about 20 minutes at a nearby Eastman dealer yesterday. There was an E6D, E20SS, and E1D.

The E6D was as good as mine, and mine is excellent. And the neck carve is full profile, like mine. The top has darkened nicely, so I am guessing it had been there a while. SN 10445141 Anyone know what year that was made? It is on sale for only $627, and it could use a setup. Plenty of saddle height to adjust. 

The E20SS had a narrow, thin neck (think Fender electric) and the new, funky pickguard shape. It was a nice guitar, and I believe it was priced at $775. The E1D was also very nice. The neck profile is a round C and feels a little chunkier than the upper level E series guitars. It sounded great, but not as sophisticated as the E6D. The woods looked really good. I'd have to say that it is the best $459 dreadnought I've ever seen.

Anyone see the guy playin' the Eastman on "AGT" the other night?

I've never even seen one but, found this link on another forum.  The B&G pups are pure syrup.

and he demands to know why he got stuck with a hack musician like me. He slowly locks himself back into his case as I watch Suddenly Years Align featuring one of his siblings. Sadly I realize that is question is not at all unreasonable.

Hi

Was this model discontinued and is there a newer E series that is comparable to the Ac420 model?

Thanks!

So I have been in the market for about a month for an acoustic with a pickup around $500. I found an Eastman e10om with a kk pure mini installed on reverb for $580 shipped. It looked a little scuffed but nothing crazy. I ordered it and was super excited to receive it the next day. Sadly upon inspection I found a neck crack (shown in the following two pictures) that was not mentioned in the listing. The crack can be seen going down into the neck halfway through the second fret




I contacted the seller who said he never noticed it before but offered me a full refund as well as all the costs for me to ship it back to him. The search continued. A while later I found a nice looking e6om for $600 shipped. It has a fishman matrix installed and was listed as excellent condition. I picked it up from my fedex shop today and rushed it home. When I open the case I saw this:




The crack runs through the fingerboard up about 5 or 6 frets right in the center of it. I contacted this seller who said he had never noticed this either. He says he feels terrible and offered me a full refund or $300 to cover repairs. I did some research and it looks like cracks like this are caused by the fingerboard getting too dry, and most people say it's an easy fix of mixing ebony dust with superglue or epoxy and then filling in the crack. There is a guy close by who does good work, and this guitar sounds and feels insanely good. One of the best feeling/sounding acoustics I have played. 

If i took the $300 i would essentially have this guitar for $300 plus whatever it costs to repair it. 

What do you guys think?

anyone tell me how to post a picture of a guitar to the fans forum? I have no camera but have access to a cell phone with a camera.
