Thanks for the demo! Could you let us know the weight and neck dimensions?

[@ErnieWilliamsonMusic]

Thanks! It comes in at 8.2 lbs, 1 11/16th nut, and a 24 3/4 scle length.

If you are going to demo a guitar, make sure it's in tune.

Does it shred or does it only come with pentatonic licks?

[@ErnieWilliamsonMusic]

John is our in-house pentatonic master :)

$2559 for an MIC guitar? Hell no !!!

[@brianshoaf9026]

you can get them for about 2200. Go play one. It beat out several Gibson Custom shops I tried. All top quality USA internals, and hand carved. Check out the V / Varnished finish version, feels like an old worn in guitar, and most of them only weigh about 8 lbs.

[@Adipsia1]

Hell yes. Superb guitars.

​@@brianshoaf9026 Don't mind these people... more amazing guitars for us to play! Personally, I would be 100% more comfortable paying for this amazingly crafted Eastman than paying for a new Gibson Les Paul standard.

You can't buy a new American made LP that's better than these Eastman's. You would have to spend double the price on a custom shop and even then you would need to try 15-20 5000$+ custom shops until you find a single one that's better than a stock Eastman.

MIC equal shit is a stereotype. Like Made in USa is always quality ;-)

[@CaptainRon1913]

It's not a Les Paul no matter how hard it tries

[@ErnieWilliamsonMusic]

It's a definite contender in the LP realm. We were pleasantly surprised.

[@TimothyJBerry]

No it’s better

[@christopherlugten5081]

Much better
