    I live in China and believe or not, not too many players here are using Eastman. I play a Romeo and every gig a few players ask what kind of guitar I’m using. There’s a few models to be had used at just over 1,000$ - not cheap, but what you get is beyond great. The LA version is currently up against the Juliet with the P90’s - such a great time to be a guitar player âœŠđŸŒ!

A lot of his career success most likely has to do with attitude and spirit as much as it has to with his talent.

Challenge yourself and play the same 'hard parts' hundreds of times before moving to the next part of the song. Again...really improved my skills and muscle memory via rote repetition.

    Liked your finger freedom playing. The one bug a boo i have with dual PU guitars is the narrow 2 1/16" bridge string spacing.
    Tim, Is this wider, like a tele?
    So I looked up the Juliet's specs and they dont have that spec.
    But . . . they have a wide nut-width! The 1.72" Gibson acoustic nut-width that I find so great. Especially with their round 12" radius most acoustics don't have. This guitar could be that smooth player with a tad more room for adult chords?

    Haven't played any Eastman electrics, but I'm a BIG fan of their acoustics. Their lower priced offerings play like more expensive guitars, IMO, and their Grand Auditorium size design is just about perfect for me. Not too bulky like a Dreadnought, nice and comfortable on the lap, but still with enough volume on the voice. The two I have both have some nice depth to their tone, with pretty overtones on the Sitka and Ovangkol one. They're a good guitar company. They make nice stuff, at least based on what I've played so far.
