I love how Paul has this "I want this" look with every guitar. This man has so much restraint to not just walk out of there with 6 new guitars on his back.

Fantastic. I've certainly never had the differences in body shape so clearly explained and Paul's playing is always a treat.

Wow. That was an eye opener. The main takeaway from this video, is that I don't have enough guitars.

Brilliant concept here. My first guitar was a parlor, but in less than a year I “graduated “ to a dreadnaught., but it was obvious that something was missing from what I used to be able to make happen. My next purchase shall be a parlor.

Can easily spend a weekend hanging out with these two and never get bored! This video can reveal your love for the guitar... if you watched the entire video and wanted more or felt it was too short... you know you have a guitar problem! I didn't want this to end! Great video!

As someone new to the guitar, this was excellent information for me. I bought my first guitar, thinking the only difference was "classical" vs "folk". Great job, and thank you both!

Thank you Paul and Pepijn’t. You both just answered so many people that were always afraid to ask. Music store employees should take note.

Since, I'm early I just wanna say that you're an awesome ytber and I love learning from you! Love from Romania!

Thank you, Pepijn't! You're explanations along with Paul's outstanding playing and cinematography really brought these instruments to life. How you described the tones that each guitar was capable of producing, where each guitar really shines the most, was perfection.

Excellent video! Thanks for the thoughtful side-by-side comparisons.

Bravo Eastman and Paul Davids for uniting the internet community of steel string nerds. This was such a great overview.

I can't believe I'm watching this for free in 2022. Amazing work, Paul. Thank you so much.

Wonderful comparison Paul and Pepijn! 🔥💪 Thanks so much guys!

The morphing-shots are suuch a great way to compare the shapes and I haven't seen that so far on a youtube video. GREAT little touch that's actually not that little. Thanks for the work that went into this video. Insane value and detail you put into these, Paul.

I had no idea that Eastman had such a wide variety of shapes and styles. Thanks for making the video! This is a very comprehensive dive into all the acoustic guitar shapes, and I appreciate the amount of work that went into making it. Thanks to Pepijn as well, great subject matter expert, and you can tell how much he loves doing his job and teaching people about all the nuances of the wood and shapes and how they each have their own characters.

Fantastic job, both of you! Thanks for this!

Paul, this is simply the best video about acoustic guitars on youtube, great job! The way you explain the influence of body shapes on the sound, the knowledge of Pepijn, the comparisons... everything is perfect! Thank you, this is best lesson I've got on how to choose a guitar. Keep going!

What an excellent education this was! Thank you, Paul and Pepijn!!

Pepijn thank you for all your welcome knowledge in this video! Blown away by how you seem to explain it all so simple and easy.

Perfect video timing Paul! I’m looking to add another acoustic, and this is an excellent presentation. Thanks to both of you !! All the best 🎶

Amazing series! Just finished this and the history of electric guitars. SO well done. Thank you!

Thank you for a very comprehensive and thorough explanation and demonstration of all of these different acoustic guitars to choose from. Very well done!

Finally! A body comparison video that doesn't just highlight the strength of each type, but compares everything. I.e..light picking sounds great on a parlor, but how well does a jumbo light pick in comparison? Or how does an 00 take heavy strumming compared to a dreadnought. Well done Paul!

Loved hearing each side by side. Wonderful descriptions. I'm tooling up for building now and love having you show what each are good at. It's so important to have what you need. Not just what you've seen others with.

Such an amazing production and quality of this video, just as always Mr. Davids! And what a great and informative collaboration between you both!

This is the best discussion and demonstration of body shapes I've ever seen/heard! Really well done!!!!

Awesome comparison that no doubt will give many a guitar player, both beginner and more advanced, a great insight in the options, characteristics and their uses. Plus it gives us perfect ammunition to defend that one argument all of us have with our other halves: “there is no such thing as too many guitars”! Thanks Paul and Pepijn.

Such an amazing video. So glad I’m alive in this era.

Very well thought out video with samples and lots of information and suprises. Excellent, Paul!

Loved this video!! Awesome to see such an indepth video going through the various body shapes, tonal qualities and overall feel of the guitar.

This is one of the best ways to showcase a brand while educating the masses. Great work Paul and Eastman. Look forward to the next one.

I absolutely love my Eastman E20OM! I've had 9 of my students pick up the same guitar in the last year. I am a huge fan of the Eastman line. Thanks for showcasing these guitars Paul. They're truly something special. Great value!

I just want to say this is one of the very best guitar review/explanation videos I've ever seen. These two guys totally get it, clearly love guitar, explain things super well, and excellent production. I'm very impressed, thanks for a great guide!

Awesome job! Informative and concise comparisons for guitar players of all skill levels to learn from. Thank you!

EASILY one of the MOST informative and comprehensive guitar videos on a particular subject that I have ever seen, thank you! I look forward to the tonewoods video! ☺️👍

I bought myself an Eastman two days ago, they’re awesome guitars! Through my experience of looking for the perfect guitar, what I’ve found though is there’s no such thing. They’re all unique and special in their own way. Which is why one needs to have several! Don’t forget also that there are many variables greatly affecting sound characteristics besides body shape, including tonewood, sample variations, string type and age, pick stiffness, fingernail length, room acoustics, and last but not least the touch of the player himself.

Thank you, Paul and Mr. Hart. Great job! We learnt a lot.

Incredible information, I learned so much. I have never seen or been able to have so many different guitars in the same room and to hear them being played. Thank you so much.

You are really good at what you do Paul. Thank you.

Brilliant video, so helpful. Massive fan of Eastman too, having just bought an Eastman E10ss last week, it also assured me I made the right choice. Very versatile and balanced tone compared to a dread.

I just love how happy they both are talking about guitars. It makes me happy.

Excellent video. Your guest is so knowledgeable and informative, and your conversation with him is so organic. Then, on top of that, the visual elements are spot on. Really, this is a terrific video.

Wow! No matter how much you 'think' you know about guitars, there is always so much more to learn. A side-by-side comparison on this is simply incredible! Makes me love my 00 even more

Magnificent! Loved every minute of this. I am a classical guitar player by training although, lately, I’ve spent an enormous amount of time with my steel string acoustic. This was a very informative. It’s fascinating to explore all the different body styles for me. Classical only really has one. Everybody argues about makers and slight variations on the woods, finish and the bracing but, we only really have one body shape. The versatility and variety of the steel string world is just unreal. And they are such a joy to play. Where sound of a classical is like a warm tropical night, that of a steel string is like a beautiful spring day in the cool, Wendy mountains.

Ok, you just saved me years of research, doubts and headaches coming from my recording/mixing sessions. One of your absolute best and most useful videos!! Congrats!!

I just wanted to say thank you Paul. I started playing with the first lockdown two years ago and kept on going everyday with your videos as well. I learned so much and I can’t stop. I feel like my love for music and the world of guitars is growing steadily. The art behind how these guitars are built and how everything influences the sound from the woods to the shape and of course how you play. It is truely a miracle. You are a great inspiration to many! Thank you for everything Paul!

Eastman guitars are fantastic! Some of the best bang for your buck I’ve seen. Tony at Luthier’s Workshop in Greenbay has a lot at his shop. One day I was picking up my guitar from being adjusted and tried out some acoustic guitars. At that time I knew for a while that I would need to invest in a nicer acoustic guitar, but had no plans of buying one soon. However I fell in love with one and it seemed like it was the time was chosen for me. My E20OM is the best guitar I’ve owned, and one of the best sounding I’ve heard. The feel and sound to a nice acoustic guitar makes a huge difference. Truly something magical. ✨ The fact that i was so confident at how I loved the guitar despite not having a cutaway design was reaffirming. A cutaway design was very important for me to easily access higher notes, yet the quality of tone from this instrument STILL made it a no-brainer for me. Thank you, Eastman Guitars. Thank you, Tony at Luthiers Workshop. Thank you, Paul David’s. Thank you, music! 🙏

First off, Paul you are an incredible guitar player, and I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos. That said, I watched Rhett Shull yesterday purchase a vintage SG. The guy he bought it from was selling it because he wanted to buy a Martin acoustic that he’s always had his eye on. I personally own a Taylor 214ce, and I was thinking how great it would be to see a video on the differences between the sounds of each model, shape, wood type, etc, and then I see this video in my inbox this morning. Perfect timing! Thanks Paul!!

It really shows how much both these guys love guitars. Great video.

Found this assessment video from David and Eastman Guitars and enjoyed it immensely. First time I've seen this break-down of the shapes and a compariosn on how they sound. Brilliant stuff.

I guess there is only one type of guitar left to be compared, the semi-acoustics used in Jazz and Country music (primarily). I've always been partial to the looks and sound of those guitars, but would love to see a good compare across the different shapes and styles. Loved this compare and kinda liked all these guitars lol, i would not really be able to pick just one from this line-up.

I play a jumbo for lead acoustic guitar in church bands. I love how much it just punches right through the mix so clearly with such little effort. You get just the right amount of high tones to still be easily picked up by the listener, while not sounding thin and tinny because there's so much bass to go along with it. If anyone is looking for a budget model of a jumbo (cause they can be pricey) the Guild F-250E is a little more affordable and still sounds great! Happy Playing friends, may you all find your perfect guitar 🎵🤘

Thanks Paul I've never seen a comparison of guitar styles demonstrated and explained so well, nice one.

Excellent. I've had the itch to go shopping lately and try something different. I'm not sure if you've clarified or confused my wants, but thank you!

Fantastic video. I can watch the clips over and over and it’s like being able to overstay my welcome in a music store. I’m finding myself drawn to the sound of the Sloped Shoulder Dreadnought, even though it’s not something I would’ve gravitated toward visually. I would definitely consider Eastman for my next purchase just for being able to study all the options so thoroughly in this video.

Great video! This half-hour video is so meaningful and educational for millions of guitar learners and lovers now and for years and years in future.
