Thank you so much! Will do indeed. I truly appreciate that.

Cool that you have experience with both the new and old ranger. I have never tried one of the reissue guitars as even the used ones are hard to come by here in Canada. Thanks for filling me in though on what to expect. Makes sense as in my opinion Guitar construction has generally gotten more refined overtime. Of course something special about vintage guitars though. Thank you so much for watching and I appreciate you commenting on the video.

@@LucasHaneman that's correct, back then, cheap guitars were poorly made, but nowadays thanks for the use of CNC machines, laser cuts, hydraulic jigs and so on, they became good, even a cheap guitar is decent, and "made in China" is no more that junk it was 10 years ago. And I totally agreed with the fact that old guitars have that something special.... In the 70's The Rangers were better made than most other cheap shovels. Have a great day.

Right you are. Guitar number two was the Martin so A little easier to play. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

I just bought an Eastman E1OM Special and it's really great. Amazing for the price. I greatly prefer the sound to the non-special one, which I don't like at all. (I briefly owned it, as well as the E2OM). TC top makes a big difference, and the gloss finish is very premium.

Thanks for tuning in guys! I’ve only briefly played one of the specials so far but man it was sweet! I’ll have to do a review sometime soon on the channel. Thanks to both of you for watching and I’m sorry, but not sorry for making you an Eastman addict haha 👍🏻

Super cool that you have some insider first-hand perspective with both brands. I will say you were 100% correct with your assumption. I hope you continue to enjoy both guitars, and thanks so much for watching!

You choose…..wisely! Congrats and thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for watching and congrats on choosing correctly! They are both pretty special to play and I feel lucky to have been able to showcase them both!

For sure. I’m blessed to have a couple of really nice acoustic guitars in my arsenal by small builders and indeed there is no comparison. That said I am happy to have my Eastman for certain occasions, like this past Sunday when I played an outdoor festival and it was so Hot that the power went out. I love/really prefer to play my nice acoustics, but I wouldn’t want to put them through that kind of torture. This is a lesson I’ve learned the hard way. So happy that you are loving that new Collings!

@@LucasHaneman Yeah a “beater” guitar is amust have definitely.

Too true!

Thanks so much for those kind words! I really appreciate it. FYI, I did no tweaking with the software, just twiddle the knobs a lot until I got the desired sound I was looking for. Thanks again for checking out the video and hope you have a great one!

@@LucasHaneman Just shows the enviable refined sense of taste of your ear...👌🏼

You shaped yes, but the neck size is alluding me as I shot this video a couple of years ago. I think it was more medium, as I don’t remember it feeling particularly small, but I am really not sure. I do know that this was my favourite guitar I demoed in the store that day and I don’t usually like, really small necks but I know all of that is subjective.

Sounds like you found a great guitar. I’m still really enjoying this one three years after making the video. I totally understand the big name on the headstock mentality. I was a victim of this for a long time too. Thanks to companies like Eastman, though I am much more into the feel of the guitar and the sound of the guitar these days. The name of the headstock Isn’t such a big deal to me after all. I’m glad to hear you had a good experience and I hope you continue to enjoy that Eastman Guitar for many years! Glad to have helped with the decision. Thank you so much for watching and I appreciate you sharing your story here.! Cheers from Canada

You know, that means a lot to me! Sometimes these videos can take a while to ponder or to put together, so I appreciate that you’ve gotten something from them. Thanks a bunch for tuning in and for your kind words!

@@LucasHaneman My pleasure. Your review of the Rivera M60 helped me actually buy one. Good stuff and the playing is awesome, as well.

Oh wow cool! I think that was the first review I ever did on this channel. Ancient review but I used to enjoy that amp big time when I owned it. So many great sounds available.

The E-40 must be a very nice guitar. The highest grade I’ve played from Eastman was the E20. That’s news to me about them discontinuing lots of their left-handed guitars. This is one thing I really respected about Eastman. They offered many left-handed models at no charge to the consumer as far as I could see. As a fellow lefty who just so happens to play right handed. I care about these kinds of things. One of the reasons I cannot get along with PRS guitars. Haha Keep your eyes peeled though on the used market as I’m sure a couple great ones will pop up from Eastman that could work for you Also, where are you located? I am in Canada, and there’s a local store close to me that stocks a lot of Eastman stuff. I know he has had a good amount of left-handed stock in before.

Hey! Cheers from Canada. I’m really glad to hear that you enjoyed the video so much and it’s cool to hear about the Martin guitars you’ve got going on! Sounds like a couple of very special instruments. I appreciate you watching the video and wish you continued success with your performances! P.S if that parlour Guitar hasn’t arrived yet I’m sure you are going to be in for a nice treat when it does. Speaking from the perspective of someone who has a great great parlor. I can’t tell you how much I love the one I own. It actually gets a lot of use, not only for recording and writing but also for gigging. This is coming from somebody who only played dreadnaughts live for many years when it came to acoustic shows. The parlour guitar was a game changer for me.

Cool. Thanks for sharing. Have a good one.

Hey my friend! I’m so sorry for missing this last week. Glad you like the mod. I’m having fun with the strings. Definitely a big improvement over what I had on the guitar before to achieve a similar effect, and I agree that it does a bit of that Charlie Hunter thing, though I’m such a huge fan of his that perhaps some of that was self-inflicted. :-) perhaps subconsciously self-inflicted. Haha. I remember trying a couple of those Martin backpacker guitars years ago. They are very cool! I ended up going for an applause backpacker style guitar made by ovation though instead when I was about 12 years old. Was a Christmas gift from my parents. I still have it in fact and played it last weekend when our family was up at a boat with another family. It’s great for those kinds of situations. I don’t recall that I’ve ever played ultra light acoustic strings., but whenever I try someone’s guitar with nine gauge electric strings, I feel the sensation you are speaking of. It’s odd to me as someone who generally favours slightly heavier strings, that may change in time though, so perhaps next time I restring my travel guitar. I should try some of those ultralight acoustic strings to see what they are like.

@@LucasHaneman An applause backpacker? That sounds interesting. My cousin had an Applause knock off of a strat back in the mid-80;s. I wonder if that would have been the same company. Light strings on the Martin Backpacker makes sense as the neck curvature had me shaving the saddle for better action. Such a convenient size instrument for outings as you mentioned!

Wow! So cool. That’s really taking this to the extreme. Thanks for sharing. Sounds like an interesting guitar.

Thanks! Appreciate that

Don't give it up. It took me almost 50 years to get it right and it was worth it.

Hey man. I’m so sorry to hear that you’re going through this. It wouldn’t be easy. I hope you’re able to get your inspiration back. You’ve got some beautiful guitars and it sounds like you’re a great player. So keep your head up. At the end of the day, Music should be bringing joy, so I hope you’re able to get back to what counts in time. Fingers crossed buddy.

@@LucasHaneman Thanks man, I appreciate it. It’s been pretty rough for me lately and I struggle with imposter syndrome like crazy. ASD has some serious drawbacks to it sometimes. I have been dealing with massive burnout for months now also. I feel like a slug, and that doesn’t help much either.

Glad you liked it! Thanks so much for watching

Personally I like it! I don’t have a standard baritone guitar to compare it to but for me it’s doing the job of what that type of guitar would do but it feels more familiar as it’s a normal-ish telecaster. Thanks a bunch for watching as always!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that

That’s really nice of you! Thank you so much for checking out the video and I’m glad you enjoyed the playing.

Oh no, thank ‘you’. Btw my name is Seal. I’m the recording artist known by that name. I’m a fan. ✌🏾&💜

@@seal-nowweretalking6753 thank you so much! Really appreciate that

L O L I don’t think so, but who knows. Thanks so much for your kind words on the lesson though and appreciate you checking it out.

Thank you so much! That’s really nice of you. I appreciate you checking out the video too

Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed

Thanks so much for watching and commenting

@@LucasHaneman And what was the right answer?

@@kinnjohn Number one, Martin, number two Boucher. Results are here in episode 141@@kinnjohn

@@LucasHaneman Wow. Suppose this shows how much we often hear with our eyes..

Exactly. Even though I don’t see very well myself I can see well enough to understand the visual appeal of guitars. That said for me it’s all about tone and feel first and foremost. Though I am intrigued by brand history etc. etc. with many companies the name on the head stock is pretty far down on my list when it comes to choosing guitars to gig with.. episodes like this are just trying to open peoples minds to this idea in a fun way

Absolutely, they are fantastic! Glad you are liking yours

Thanks so much again!!

Hey, thanks so much! I really appreciate your kind words

Thanks!

Ah thanks so much for your kind words! Indeed, no room for autotune in what we do. For us, it’s all about trying to get the right performance and continually attempting to get better, always trying to get better.

Thanks so much!

They made some nice stuff. Thanks for watching.

Ah thanks for your kind words man!

Thanks so much, glad you liked it Aaron!!

Ah Guy, thanks a bunch. We really enjoyed the sound of this room. We played there a couple years ago, and somewhere in the last few songs, I remember remarking to the audience about how good the sound was on stage. That’s certainly not always the case. Haha. Thanks again for watching my friend!

Thanks so much!

Aw thanks dad!!! :-)

We released this one as part of a slew of videos today, so thanks for taking the time to check it out and leave a comment/like! Means a lot

Thanks so much for watching!!
