Picked this up today from the Eastman warehouse in Pomona.

Wow, that neck is gorgeous!

Gorgeous. Does it play as well as it looks?

Gorgeous indeed. I generally like my acoustics super plain looking, and think that blinged out ones look terrible. This is probably as much bling that you can put on whilst still looking great.

Really really nice.

That is funny because I am the same way. I am not a fan of designed inlays. I like understanded guitars in general. I almost didn't buy it because of the bling. But it just felt right so I did. I played 3 different versions of this model. 1 all Koa, 1 maple back and sides, and 1 Mahogany. I ended up with the Koa because I liked the feel of it and due to it being the prototype for this model which just added a cool factor.

Yeah, if you'd described it to me in writing I would have said no thanks, but it looks good. Bet it looks even nicer in person.

agreed. I honestly do not like the inlays that much. Would have preferred just some nice standard or slightly upgraded ones. That said, the guitar spoke to me a bit. Just felt/sounded right. They have grown on me and I could look at the back of the neck for hours. It is just beautiful.

I want inlays that say “plopswagon.”

looks awesome, mickie, can't wait to hear it!
