I am immensely proud to bring Eastman Acoustic Guitars to the attention of UK players who value craftsmanship, tone, and authenticity. Every Eastman guitar is genuinely handmade, not factory-assembled, built using traditional tools like chisels and scrapers, guided by the hands of skilled luthiers rather than machines.
Unlike many modern brands, Eastman remains true to its heritage, crafting instruments with soul and precision. The results are guitars that resonate with warmth, clarity, and exceptional responsiveness, from solid mahogany and spruce models to rosewood-backed masterpieces.
The quality of tonewoods used in each Eastman acoustic guitar is second to none, even their mahogany selections exceed what most manufacturers offer in their premium ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eastman Acoustic Guitars
What makes Eastman acoustic guitars different from other brands?
Eastman guitars are genuinely handcrafted using traditional luthiery techniques, not mass-produced. Every neck, brace, and body is hand-shaped and voiced, resulting in a uniquely responsive tone and superior resonance compared to factory-built instruments.
Where are Eastman acoustic guitars made?
All Eastman acoustic guitars are handmade in Beijing, China, at Eastman’s own workshop. The factory operates more like a small guild of luthiers, combining Eastern craftsmanship with Western design principles for world-class results.
How do Eastman guitars compare to Taylor or Martin?
While Taylor and Martin use precision manufacturing, Eastman focuses on traditional handcrafting. This gives Eastman guitars a more organic feel and boutique-level tone at a more affordable price point, making them a favorite among discerning players.
Awesome service, communication and packaging. Richard delivered everything he promises on his website. The set-up was spot-on too. The Cort C5 Plus is a stunning looking and sounding bass guitar made from quality materials with great sounding, powerful Bartolini pickups.
'But', I don't think I'll be buying a bass with a natural finish again as the wood is quite soft and prone to 'dings'. I handled it as carefully as I could when first playing it, and yet still managed to pick up a couple of small dings. And as the wood underneath is lighter in colour than the wood-stained surface, dings are quite visible when they occur. If I wanted to resell this bass as mint, it's value has now decreased... unless I was to invest in some body repairs. But heyho, we live an learn. But for the rest I am absolutely delighted with my transaction and would recommend Richard's Guitars without hesitation. In fact I already have done.
