Eastman E40 00 review by the Silly Moustache

What a beautiful, great sounding guitar! I have my E20P with me at the beach and it’s size, and tone, are just perfect for traveling. Your new guitar is very impressive to say the least. Eastman continues to impress with their impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail. I hope you are doing well. See you for our Zoom lesson next week!

It is a beauty ! If some one would have told me 30 or 40 years ago, that I would be lusting over a Chinese guitar , I would have laughed all night long . Needless to say , Eastman is producing some beautiful , well built instruments ! Love your new guitar , congratulations !

Congratulations. I remember looking for a first guitar in the '70s and it makes me appreciate how wonderful guitars of today are in all price rangers. I hope you play it for many years in good health!

Watching your videos always brings me joy. Thank you, I hope your hands are healing well.

Hello Andy. Many congratulations on your beautiful new Eastman. I wish you many years of enjoyment playing it. I very much enjoy the videos, as of course, do countless others, that you kindly create for our enjoyment and education. I loved the wonderful tease you treated us all to on the acoustic guitar forum. Such fun. You really got us all going!! All the best Andy, Jade.

Due in large part to your informative and entertaining videos, I will be accepting delivery on this exquisite guitar next week. It will be my second Eastman (E20D-MR-TC) and I'm already setting sights on another in mahogany. Many thanks for your bringing this gem to the light.

Congrats on the new guitar. its stunning. I got my first Eastman last month though that was an electric. I tried several high end vintage Gibson les pauls prior to the Eastman but none of them came close to the quality of it. Thats absolutely gorgeous and might be on my list for next year as im a convert to the brand. Health to enjoy

You have a very understanding missus Andy! I got a hard time when i bought my Eastman E1D for 500 quid. "You already have a perfectly good guitar!" I've never tried those neck widths and sometimes find it pleasurable to go back to my skinny Yamaha from my 1 3/4 Eastman. I generally prefer herringbone to powershell too, but that's one fine guitar you have there. Enjoy!

I recently got an Eastman E20OO and am delighted with it, and well set up by Peach Guitars. After some experimentation I have settled on Stringjoy Naturals 10 - 50 Phosphor Bronze strings, which suit it (and me) very well. I used to own a Martin OO21 for many years and had a hankering for another 12 fretter, and it's perfect for my preferred 'Americana'. Your E40OO looks a peach too. Now back to my Roy Bookbinder albums...

It’s always reassuring to find a.fellow man with your familiar affliction. 00’ss especially!

Small bodies are so fascinating. Each one so unique. Just ordered the E 6 OM because it ticks all the boxes at an extraordinary price point.

What a gorgeous guitar! The 42 trim is quite nice to look at.

Hello Andy, Looks like I am here first. That's a lovely Eastman. I am something of a high end guitar sceptic, a few years ago I paid a reputable company in your neck of the woods 4000GBP for a hand made American guitar which sounded fantastic. When it arrived there was a little bit of the binding on the neck near the sound hole that had lifted, foolishly I decided that I could glue it back, which I put on my to do list, after about 18 months it started to develop a belly on the sound board which meant the the corners of the bridge were lifting and the neck started to bow, there were also signs of the binding moving in other places. This could be a long story but suffice to say it got returned to USA. The guitar was made by a small builder and it's replacement is from a company that have had years of experience, as have Eastman. Hence I am a high end guitar sceptic. Anyway it's always good to see your youtube videos, please keep up the good work. Cheers Bill

Beautiful guitar, I’ve managed to buy one of these secondhand recently, I’m very pleased with it.

Just got my Eastman E-20 00 Andy. Love it. Very nicely made. It’s a keeper for sure.

Thanks to this review, I’ve just picked up a 2022 E40oo here down under. I wonder how it got here if there weren’t that many.

Nice one Andy, perhaps i'll get to hear you play it when things get back to normal.

That new Eastman E40 00 has a really nice tone to it Andy. I noticed it doesn't have a pick guard on it...yet. Very nice collection of guitars, indeed. That's an expensive hobby to collect guitars, I don't play well enough, that I myself wouldn't purchase more than one guitar. A person would need a special place for storing them, for sure. I really like the Waterloo sunburst color. Willie Nelson's son Lukas, also plays a Waterloo guitar often. It's not as pretty as your guitar, but his also has a great tone to it. Nice comparison video and quite informative, thank you for sharing.

You do have some really good sounding boxes!

Thats a fine guitar Andy, I have the Eastman E1 00, (limited editition) which is the entry level model of the same guitar, it has an adirondeck spruce top and solid sapele back and sides and is my favorite sounding guitar
