Their website claims that everything is hand made, and the only power tool they use is a bandsaw. However - their current product line boasts no fewer than 143 different acoustic/electrics/mandolins and that doesn't count their violin/viola/cello/bass product line.

Obsessed Poster Extraordinaire. There is a YT vid of their guitar manufacturing. Compared to a Gibson vid, the Eastmans are definitely more hand built (note the glueing fixtures). It was a friend of a friend's T386 (335 like) that convinced me to get an Eastman parlor sight unseen. I'd say very comparable to a Gibson equivalent at about half price.

I am in Eastern PA. I currently own 2 Eastman Guitars: an El Rey 1, and a 371. I have owned a number of different guitars, including Peerless, Gibson, Ibanez and Godin. If I ever have to go down to one or two guitars, I will keep the two Eastmans. You must have seen a bad one.

Eastman handcrafted acoustic guitars cover a wide range of playing styles and sound. The Traditional Series (model names beginning with E) bring back memories of the great instruments of the Golden Era of guitar building. Those were days when all work was done by gifted craftspeople, by hand using simple tools.

I only have experience with ONE Eastman guitar, so I can't speak to the consistency of their QC overall. It's an AR403CE. I happened to try it in a store (Buckdancer's Choice) that's 2 hours and 15 minutes away from me when I was visiting relatives in Portland, ME for Thanksgiving 2011.

Have read a couple of reviews that sound good. Finally got my hands on an AC320CE today...have to say I was pretty impressed. All Solid Wood Handmade..felt good...sounded good...Don't hear alot about them...Tried this one out at Mass Street Music...Half the price of comparable Martins and Taylors.. Seemed like a nice guitar for the guy that doesnt have the pocketbook for a real expensive guitar.

Re:Eastman Guitars 6 Years, 6 Months ago. They get a lot of love at the UMGF and AGF forums. I have a friend here at home who has an AC710S that he keeps at his office at work. He ranks it up there with his Martin OM-21. I've only heard good things about their acoustics.
