I went into Vintage Guitars today on Van Nuy's Blvd.
They had a nice selection of guitars Vintagw and new Martins.Gibson,Guilds and Eastman on the acoustic wall.When I saw the Eastman name I asked if they had any mandolins?
They had two Eastmans F's #266 and #267 in the back.Both where brought out for me to try. For $1,400.00 they are a great sounding mandolin and very well built.One poster says he played one at Gruhns that was better then a Collings.I have a MF5 and have say again for the price they are great sounding and well #built but any Collings in my book sounds it's $$$ worth better.
