[IGD] Eastman Cabaret

I think things are getting lost in translation, or I do not understand your French sense of humour, but in any case this has been a great reminder as to why posting here is a waste of my time.

I feel your pain coolvinny and are feeling like you more and more when i come on this forum.I love my Eastman Cabaret and for the just a little over 2K I paid,it was a bargain.

I think some of the conflicting arguments here seem from whether or not you want a great acoustic sound, or a great amplified sound. As much progress has been made of melding the two, there still has to be a compromise on one side or the other if it's one guitar, especially if playing loudly.

I find the Cabaret to be fine acoustically and just as good amplified.Someone i know had a Buscarino Cabaret and after playing my Cabaret,he sold the Buscarino and bought a used Eastman Cabaret.To quote him,the Eastman was 90 percent of the Buscarino at a fourth of the price.He feels less nervous taking the Eastman to his gig than he did the Buscarino.Quite honestly,in a band situation,i doubt most people would tell the difference between the Eastman or the Buscarino.

It is. More than fine even, and quite probably more guitar than I'll ever be able to exploit. Acoustically I mean, what little I've heard of its amplified voice doesn't appeal to me at all (piezo quack) but I have no use for it other than the using it for tuning in noisy settings (and even that isn't perfect as the top itself acts as a VLD mic).
