Maybe now my Eastman will live up to all of the promise I hear when I play it acoustically. I Thank my stars that I have access to a local repair shop of such high quality.
Now I'm sitting in the neighborhood of around 500 dollars for a setup, a new Lollar Johnny Smith pickup, a fret dress, a new set of Gotoh 1:18 tuners, a strap peg, and the pickguard repair. HOWEVER: He did immediately hear the tone and remarked that it had amazing sound quality. The feedback I recieved at the repair shop was that the pickup was very unbalanced, some frets weren't seated correctly, and that in general the setup was kind of "Frankenstein". So I took my little monster child down to the local guitar hospital whereupon I pretty much got the exact same prognosis I gave this thing in my earlier review. At any rate I never heard back from them. I was a little snotty in my email, but I mentioned as such, and I said why. I wrote(e mailed) the Eastman web site, and they didn't get back to me. Bear in mind that I play this thing between 4-8 hours a day that shouldn't make a difference, but might it? (that's why I even bring it up) Since my initial review, the pickguard has separated from the neck mount.
