I've been thinking of buying a second Eastman acoustic for some time. I already own a E1SS-DLX-SB which is a super guitar. The slope shoulder represents something a little out of the ordinary for me as I usually go for a tops other than sunburst (This model is aesthetically beautiful). I think aesthetics are important as we all favour specific guitar shapes and finishes. This can often be a big factor that influences the choice of guitar that we purchase. For my second Eastman, I always wanted an orchestra model. that's the shape that really inspires me to pick up the guitar and play. I originally wanted an E1OM special but sadly , they are becoming increasingly rare to find. I was considering the E1OM DLX with sapele back and sides but also hadn't ruled out the E1OM DLX that features Ovankol back and sides . After a gret deal of thought I opted for the Ovankol model. When it arrived, I knew that I had made the correct choice; It's such a pretty guitar. The construction is excellent and confirms everything that I have read about the standard of craftmanship that Eastman applies applied to all of its guitars. I'll use this mostly for finger picking but will incorporate strumming and lead work. The timbre of the instrument is quite wonderful. know I'll keep this guitar over the years. Chris the guitar tech has completed a wonderful set up. Something that should never be neglected when we buy a new instrument. I waited about 6-7 weeks before the guitar arrived in the UK. I didn't mind this as I knew that my order was. in safe hands (I had previously bought a Cort Essence GA4-NSG from Richard's Guitars) and again Chris did a wonderful job on the set up. The all 'round service and communication was excellent from Richard's Guitars was excellent. In summary, I adore this guitar. It's the one that I've been looking for. I've got my collection down to seven guitars. Each one, chosen for a specific purpose. I finally believe that I have an array of instruments that cover all of my recording and performance needs. Whilst I'm not planning to purchase any more instruments for quite some time, I am pleased that I chose Richard's Guitars to secure my beautiful Eastman. It's probably now, the favourite guitar that I own. Thank you, Paul.
