New Eastman OM

[Tom Liston]

At Namm yesterday Eastman Guitars had a brand new A model OM. F holes. Even with all the noise it sounded pretty good. They're weren't sure on the price point yet.

PS they also had an oval and an f hole cello out to try

$699 pre-order at Elderly. I believe I'd get one of those, if they had it in a lefty.

At that price I think I'd get one if they had an oval hole version.

We should keep this thread open. I'm interested at the price point. For f holes that is.

They do look fantastic value but, given the seemingly unstoppable slide in our currency, I reckon they'll end up costing us a LOT more than this price point when they eventually turn up at the shores of dear old Blighty.

True. Especially given today's news (politics are not being discussed here!). But still cheaper than a luthier built one.
I say this cause I'm planning a tenor dola build at the moment
