I wanted to see if any of you guys owned one. I have played and examined a few of their guitars and they seem to have UNREAL tone and superior craftmanship. Let me know your opinions....   Blues Username: Blues Registered: 2-2001 Posted on Tuesday, June 05, 2007 - 6:17 pm:    Hey, I believe Eastman makes a fine archtop guitar for the money. I have played a veiw at the NAMM show and I am impressed with the overall quality and sound. A good friend of RONALD MULDREW who just passed on put down his beloved 1972 blond Gibson L5CES for an Eastman with one floating Johnny Smith style pickup. Ron's Eastman had a warm natural acoustic sound while going through his early 1970's Fender Super Reverb amp. I really like the Eastman JOHN PISANO model. All the best.

I also liked the Pisano a lot, but I think it's not as resonant as the AR905... so, it's more like an electric.. I mean, it's more electric than acoustic... probably more feedback resistent...the sound kind of lacks depth (hard to explain.. it's very good but doesn't go out) a very nice looking instrument... very good neck...very confortable... The AR905 is more acoustic... With Eastman you have to try one by one (more than one of the same model).. I mean, they don't have a very good quality control. So, one will be great and another have dead spots, etc. It seems the AR910 is more popular.. I see a lot of people playing it (I mean, over the internet)... Anyway, I'm courious about what the others have to say.
