ALL the guitars played sounded amazing, all in-tune and great condition. Secondly. Your shop was simply awesome, love the way the guitars are organised and displayed. This is acoustic heaven.

I yesterday bought the Eastman E8D TC and couldn’t be happier ! Also kudos to the service of you guys at TFOA ❤

@lpjbird Год назад

Yesterday I too purchased an Eastman E80m-TC…I did it online & should have it tomorrow, don’t care doing online without playing but I have 2 other Eastman guitars I’m very happy with so I went for it. The E10SS/V I believe is the other acoustic I have and it’s great & a T386 semi hallow I like but think the neck is to thick for me but I try to bond a bit longer…if not I’ll sell it to someone with big hands or long fingers.🤷‍♂️

@davidcollins1530 3 года назад

LOVE your final choices, I do mostly fingerpicking and after a long process of listening to maybe 100 sound samples of various guitars on RU-vid (before watching your vid) I settled on and purchased something quite close - a Furch OM (cedar rosewood). Also, the first guitar I ever purchased (when I was a kid in the late 70’s) was a Hohner Contessa - which is a very nice Japanese copy of a Martin D-18 (which I still own and love). Thanks guys - you made me feel like I chose well. 😁❤️🎶

@collinswm 3 года назад

A comparison of guitars from 5k to 7.5k would be great. Then you get the big guys like Lowden, SCGC, Collings, Bourgeois etc etc.

@kendanf Год назад

Wow I really would love to visit the shop. I might have to plan a trip and just spend a whole day in there, if that is allowed, ha. Are all these rooms accessible to the public to play the guitars in? Probably a dumb question. Love all the videos and this is one of the few I remember seeing that has views of every room. Really loved this one.

@theapplepaul 9 месяцев назад

The Furch is magic. Nothing wrong with the Eastman- until you hear the Furch. A real treat - had to watch this video again. My under $2K axe is a Taylor 224- ce Koa, natural finish. Warm with one of the best necks. Plus it plugs in. I have previously owned a '70's Martin D-18, an '80s Guild D40, the 224 koa holds its own. No, the grand auditorium isn't as loud as a dreadnought. but an angelic tone. And will only get better over time. Nice to know they're are still guitars under 2K new, that are special.

@madamkirk Год назад

@thefellowshipofacoustics 3 года назад

Well, both incredibly good! I would say the Furch is better if you áre looking for a more traditional or vintage tone.

@PeterSvendsen 3 года назад

@@thefellowshipofacoustics I really like the sound of the Collings OM2H, but it was way too expensive for me, so I tried an Eastman E8OM TC and E20OM and I liked the adirondack the most, but I'm still thinking about how the Furch Vintage would sound in compared to the Eastman and Collings.

Best 1 found under 2 grand IMO is the Eastman AC 422 CE.. I think it compares if not better than a Taylor 414 CE that cost double the cost of the Eastman.

@axel.lessio Год назад

Interesting, the E8D-TC also made it to my final list of potential dreadnoughts. One question that might help me with my choice: do you think a Sigma SDR-28 is that much worse than the Eastman E8D-TC? It's cheaper and it's based on the D-28 as well.

@thefellowshipofacoustics Год назад

We used to deal Sigma as well but switched to Eastman because we felt they were of higher quality! Both great guitars though. Keep in mind the Sigma doesn't have a TC top ;)

@axel.lessio Год назад

@@thefellowshipofacoustics, thanks for your reply! I'm using a Sigma J-45 style all-solid guitar and I'm really happy with the value for the money, so if you say Eastman has an even higher one then I'll definitely keep an eye on the E8D-TC! - Axel
