SOLD Eastman E10-00

Shadow

I'm sad to be having to sell this, I love almost everything about it, the look, tone, comfort of the small body, 1 13/16 nut width, but with my relatively small hands I just can't get on with the chunky neck.

The guitar is in really good condition. The only flaw I can find is a few light scratches to the finish on the upper bout just below the fretboard, almost like pick marks. Only visible when the guitar is angled the right way.

£680, delivery/collection to be agreed.

Lovely looking guitar. What is the age of the guitar? Has the adi top opened up since you've had it?

Shadow

It is a lovely looking thing. It's a 2017 model. I got it just before Christmas so haven't had it very long.

These are excellent guitars.

Great guitars and good price too

Shadow

Thanks. Hopefully you're not the only one that thinks that!

No @JFK is not the only one, I think that also. Exactly what I'm after. 

Was supposed to be getting a bonus at the end of Jan, but it's all gone quiet.  I feel a bit like Clark Griswald, this could be my swimming pool, but I think it will end up being a 1 year membership to Jelly of the Month club.

Fingers crossed for the end of March!

Price drop bump

Shadow

Wow, nearly a hundred views since I dropped the price yesterday! Surely someone's going to go for for it?! Go on, you know you want to 

Gandalph

If this doesn't move at this price then the used market really is on it's arse.

Thanks for the bump. It seems like a pretty fair price to me!

Shadow

This has had more views than I'm asking for pounds, maybe you could all throw a quid in and share it?

I've made a quick and dirty video to give a flavour of the sound, not the best quality but it's the best I can do.

malcolmkindness

I have no connection to the seller but I have owned one of these and you won't get a better guitar for that price.

Thanks @malcolmkindness, that's very true!

I’ve got the J45 version with the same woods and it’s bloody divine. I’m very tempted by this, but the timing is terrible for me - sorry!

The way it's going it could be here for a while!

Where are you located? I’ve been thinking of moving my PRS P20 on and buying a higher quality parlour, been mostly leaning to a Gibson L00 but this looks great

I'm in Hull. A bit of a trek from Kent unfortunately.
