(NEW) The exciting collaboration between Eastman Guitars and master luthier Dana Bourgeois is beginning to bear fruit! For 2022 onward, they have augmented the design of some of their Grand Auditorium-sized guitars with the Tone-Tite neck joint, a glue-less system that has been used in Bourgeois guitars for many years. A bolt-on glue-less neck joint means that in the event that the guitar needs a neck reset (usually many years or even decades into the life of the instrument) removing the neck to adjust the geometry is a breeze! No more expensive and scary neck resets! This new neck technology, with ease of maintenance and adjustability, should offer Eastman fans some real peace of mind... and to our ears, these guitars sound just like their dovetail-neck predecessors, perhaps better!
