    If you all haven't seen it, there's a very good article in the current issue of "Bluegrass Unlimited" Magazine on Eastman. All of the Eastman instruments are discussed in the article. It's good reading.

    The website is Bluegrass Unlimited

    They usually only have one article on their site from each issue. #They are in the business of selling magazines. #They currently have one article from the February issue and it is not the Eastman article.

    The story is worth reading, or at least I thought it was. According to the article Eastman is going to also start building dreadnaught style guitars to compete with Martin and Taylor. If they are as successful there as they have been with mandolins, Martin and Taylor will feel the impact. The article talks about the high quality tonewoods that are available in Asia as well as the production process, etc. I've never seen "Bluegrass Unlimited" on a newsstand in Montana....anyone wanting to read the article might have to subscribe. The current issue is their annual issue on various instrument builders.
