Tony Romano

"What impressed me most about my Eastman Thinline is the amazing tone
and clarity of this guitar. It is an extremely well balanced instrument that plays like a dream. It delivers a crispness and punch that is just incredible. Once I got it, It instantly became my favorite guitar to play."

John Pisano

“In the more than 50 years that I've been playing guitar, I don't ever recall being as impressed with an instrument. When I first played it at the NAMM show, I knew I had to go home with it. And now that I've been playing it regularly, the sound and feel of the guitar just gets better and better.”

Jack Pezanelli

“I can't say enough about this [Eastman] guitar in terms of workmanship, materials, and playability!”

Walt Johns

“These guitars are amazing! I have been an endorser of Eastman Guitars since they first started and they continue to surprise me with their high quality and low prices.”

Jonathan Stout

“There are no other guitars out there like Eastman. Nobody else is doing real acoustic archtop guitars. These things have the best resonance and projection going, and they’re even better than a lot of 40-year-old classic archtop guitars I’ve played. My Eastman Golden Age Lacquer AR810CE is easily the best guitar I’ve ever played.”

Dave Sebring

“The music of The Gypsy Hombres is quite challenging and I use my Eastman guitar exclusively with this group. I find the exquisite tone and balance is precisely reminiscent of the golden age of archtops of the late 20's and early 30's.”

Joe Morris

“My Eastman AR810CE is the only guitar I've ever played that sounds really great through an amp or acoustically. The sound is deep, strong, and full of character. This is an incredible musical instrument.”

Bruce Forman

“Fantastic instruments...they hold up to weather changes, strange environments (both acoustical and physical) and they always play and sound great.”

Dave MacKenzie

“This guitar sings like an angel and barks like a junkyard dog. Eastman is making the classic vintage guitars of tomorrow.”

Bob Russell

“I haven't been so excited about playing a guitar since I got my very first one... forty years ago! I love the voice and the feel of my Uptown.”

Chris Mangione

“My AR810CE immediately became my number one guitar after a side-by-side comparison with other archtops costing over twice as much. The fit and finish, the tone, the playability, the sheer ‘awe’ factor of the design…did I mention the tone!? I play in a local big band just holding down the rhythm and as soon as I got this guitar I started getting asked to play solos. Regardless of the price, this carved archtop beauty satisfies in every way.”

Steve Herberman

“The first time I played one live with a group I was amazed at how well the guitar cut through; loud and clear, round and warm. They're very easy to play; they just feel right.”

John Jennings

“The Eastman Uptown is one very cool archtop guitar!”

Justin Karpinos

“My Eastman AJ616 absolutely sings. It’s an incredibly responsive instrument with wondeful projection and balance across the strings and a beautiful tone. I’ve played various styles of music on it in all kinds of live performance and recording situations, and it’s thrived in all of them.”

Don Nick

“The sound, playability, and craftsmanship of my Eastman AR800 are all I had hoped for and then some.”

Chris McElroy

“My Eastman AR810CE is not only a beautiful guitar, it's the best playing guitar I've ever owned.”

Lenny Argese

“I have been playing Eastman guitars since October 2003. They are the the best guitars that I have had the pleasure of owning and playing in my 45 years in the music business. It's hard to find words to describe how great these instruments are.”

Bob Ventre

“My Eastman AR800E has become my main instrument for playing Broadway musicals and variety acts, as well as for big band and jazz dates. I specifically wanted a non-cutaway acoustic arch top for playing ‘time’. Add the Kent Armstrong pick-up and it becomes ideal for bebop, swing and “Django”. Its rich tone and clarity, whether playing rhythm or single string unison lines with an ensemble, has earned me many compliments from fellow musicians. Thanks for marketing a superb hand-made instrument at an extremely affordable price.”
