My favourite was a J45-alike with a red french polish finish. Absolutely incredible thing for about 1400, but the ones in the 700-850 range were brilliant too
@stickyfiddle - yup, I' got the tobacco burst version of that a few years ago (still with 'hog back & sides) and it utterly killed my GAS for a 'fancier' acoustic. I'm sure Atkin et al are worth the extra, but my Eastman serves my needs and then some. Their French polish models really are particularly spectacular though, the finish feels wonderful and I'll be aiming to replicate that approach on my future builds as a result of trying theirs.
Thanks guys. I used to own a T486 which was a really great guitar and I’ve played a number of their archtops etc, so I kinda knew the score with what to expect but this has really impressed me.
That looks a great buy and yes the binding is nice. At that price I'd consider a pencil sharpener for my fingers!
