This guitar stays in tune unlike more expensive guitars I've owned previously. Always a good sign. It has a beautiful tone. And good sustain. The black top gives me some perspective issues vs a plain top. I am a senior and I'm more vulnerable to that. It's very handsome. Sweetwater has great customer service. I've always wanted an Eastman guitar. Wonderful instruments.

The Eastman PXH OM2 Blacktop is a beautiful, inexpensive guitar. I bought this for an outside, firepit guitar. I have some very nice guitars but needed something to use outside and/or harsh environments. I also wanted some specific things like 1-3/4" Nut Width. This guitar fit the bill. The sound is boxy (typical of laminate guitars), but not bad. Fit and finish is great for this price range. It sounds better with a pick vs fingerstyle. As always my sales engineer Will,was phenomenal to work with.

Was looking for an imported budget box that sounded better than the price point indicated. Was ultimately swayed to make the purchase based on the visual beauty of it. The rosewood laminated back and sides are really nice, and the black gloss top with mop(?) rosette is frankly stunning in it's simplicity. The workmanship is near-perfect.

Sonically, it gives up it's tones nicely, offering up big sounds even with light strumming. Action is great (after some tweaking to accommodate personal preferences). It's a lively instrument! I look forward to seeing how the top ages as I play it. Neck profile feels good, satin finish on neck, back and sides looks great. Includes a good gigbag. Well worth the price! And it's thankfully lightweight. Sales tech is Patrick Dennis, all-around swell guy!
