I've overlaid the old nut on top so you can see the difference. It's a lot.
Guitar now plays much better, not just because the strings are evenly spaced but it holds a note forever.

Kudos to Peach for doing what they needed to do to ensure a happy customer.
Something nagging me about the nut still. It was so poorly cut, really quite crap. None of the strings were the correct distance apart. Makes me wonder how well the guitar was made... maybe it was just an off day for the nut guy / gal.
Interesting that Paul the tech guy (who works on high end violins and cello's as well as guitars) was impressed with the guitar.
There are a couple of uneven frets, but they don't affect the action or the playability. Generally they are good.
There are a few scratch marks on the edges of the fret board.
The Eastman 'handmade' thing alludes to the fact that these are top end instruments at an affordable price. I don't think that's really true, had this been a Gibson we'd all be tutting at the QC and rolling eyes.
It's a very good guitar and probably value for money. More so than a Gibson or Martin? I wouldn't say so.
One, as you say, is that it's a lovingly crafted guitar with attention to detail. The other is it might have a few quirks which make it individual and characterful
Hope tou you get to enjoy the guitar now it’s back mate.
It's an odd one with the nut and finishing, there are definitely some corners cut. The guitar itself plays and sounds great and I love the way it looks.
Comparing to the PRS Angelus I just bought its a better guitar to play, but the finish on the PRS is immaculate.
