Thank you for playing without amplification for those that may have reason(s) to play unplugged. It is important to hear all the facets of tone and you did a great job in doing so. Enjoyed your playing and demonstration. Perfect.
Excellent well rounded demo of the instrument hitting all the key points I was looking for. Great playing as well that highlights proper use of such an instrument. Thanks.
Hi I bought this very guitar after seeing this video last Dec (2017) . Absolutely beautiful and great finish and sound I also play it out of my Fender Deluxe reverb . Thanks to the folks at N Stuff Steve Jackson and Gavin Hornung .
Hey Peter, glad you enjoyed the demo, the 403 is all laminate wood construction, very durable and travels great in addition to a really good sound. With laminate wood you're getting much more of the pickup in the sound than carved wood but it is still a great sound. The AR503 has a carved top but a laminate back and sides. This gives it a little more acoustic resonance and more of a woody sound, your hearing more of the guitar and less of the pickup compared to the 403, but solid wood is more susceptible to change in weather and travel conditions. Feel free to contact us at N Stuff Music for great pricing on Eastman guitars or other questions, just ask to speak with Gavin.
Wonder if you will read this comment. I’m coming to the end of the William leaving method volume 1 with my teacher and jazz is the road I’d like to go down would you recommend this guitar for my progress and guitar journey
I think you mean William Leavitt, and I'm doing the same series of books! I'm nearly done the first part of Book 1. My plan is to reward myself with a solid top Eastman (possibly this model!) when I finish Book 3.
One of the few channels that know how to demo guitars by playing the correct styles for the guitar, not just playing blues on everything
We try to bring something a little different to our viewers than they might conventionally see. Thanks for the great comment!
I like how you mention how you personally like to setup the tone. Great job
For sure! No compromises here for tone.

You're a fantastic musician and this 403 sounds so sweet.

Cries in low fi hip hop
Thank you for playing the instrument acoustically. For some reason that's rare in CZcams guitar reviews.
How does this guitar compare with the AR503?

Came to look at the guitar but really enjoyed the playing, very nice.
Nicely done. :)
My pleasure.
Man that bridge looks crooked. Nice playing sweet sound.
Timothy Barr D.C. It’s suppose to be like that for intonation.
Emily? Beatifully played! Where i can find this arrangement?
If I buy one, I’ll be able to play just like you?
Great demo and playing 👍 Do you prefer this one or the 910ce ?
What song was that at the beginning? So beautiful
Very nice playing. I have a 403 too and was wondering what mics were used in that recording? Many thanks.
Are the model 403 and 405 the same, just humbucker vs P90?
I heard “the lick” at 6:07 :)
Great player! An AR403 never sounded so good!
How is the feedback on this guitar when played a high volumes with a band?
Gavin Horning this sounded pretty good which strings and gauge did you use?
Suena muy bien. Son cuerdas flat o round?
Name of tune?.sounds familiar!
Where’s Mark?

When describing the neck you should state the nut size!
1.75..
What is the difference between the 403ce classic finish and the 503ce classic finish???
403 has a laminated top, 503 is solid
Is this 3 1/2 inches deeper or closer to 2 1/2 inches deep?
What is the microphone and audio recorder? Great tone,technique!
Equipment used at 6:14 of the video..
Fucking love Emily
Is laminate inferior to a real top wood???
Usually but not always.
One benefit is that it's less likely to crack
Thomas Washington not so much that it’s inferior... it’s much less prone to feedback at higher volume because the top is less lively.
Name of the song on the acoustic part?
Gavin Horning what was the song at the beginning?
what type of amp do you use???
Equipment used at 6:14 of the video..
The low frequecies are feeding back and sound muddy as hell. The guy needs to move away from themp or turn the bass down a bit!
When it comes to N Stuff, Mark knows his stuff. Better sound, technique delievered. czcams.com/video/37RWYtPQTTE/video.html
The sound is not good with the tone rolled down so far. Horrible
