I bought an Eastman tenor about a year ago. It sounded nice in the store, but I was really attracted to the beautiful figured mahogany, and it came with a nice case. The nut action was high, but I adjusted it and it plays nice. Has a pleasing warm sound, but it is not as loud as my Kanilea concert (maybe it is a bit overbuilt.) I think it sounds best with fluorocarbon strings (I think I have Oasis on it right now) and a low g. I had a pickup installed and mostly use it for jazz. Oh, I think they changed the fret marker placement to the 10th at some point after hearing the grumbling. That's where mine is.
