Yeah, I'm really excited about this. I was surprised I could get it ordered this way. The only Eastman 7 strings they were showing were the El Rey and one archtop 7 string.
Mr. Hale really helped me with this. I've always liked a small bodied guitar and nearly bought Gibson's ES339. I'm glad I called Jeff Hale.
Eastman makes a great 335 style guitar. What sold me on the Eastman was that I had a chance to play the T186, the looks and feel alone sold me, as I didn't play it plugged into an amp.
I have no affiliatioin with Jeff Hale in any way. I emailed him what I was looking for and he came across. We spoke on the phone and he's a really nice guy to deal with.
I'll post picks when it comes in. It'll probably be Christmas in July.
