    Is that intonation OK? At 1:29 it appears the EAD saddles are all at the top of their adjustment, while the GBE saddles are at about the same place on the lower side of the adjustment. I usually see a stair-step, low-to-high, for each string set, not 3-equal top, then 3-equal bottom. Beautiful guitar that sounds great, in any case!

    Thanks! I had just got this guitar so I don't know what kind or gauge of strings. And yes, it sounds absolutely beautiful, acoustically or through an amp. I sold my Eastman T59V to buy this and I have no regrets. It was an awesome guitar but this gets the sound that I've been hearing in my head.

    I'm trying to narrow down some choices for a hollowbody 330 style myself, transitioning from soley acoustic playing to explore electric. The only other contender is collings i30lc and maybe Heritages 530, but Collings is obviously way more expensive.. however it's touted as being very feedback resistant. have you had the chance to see what level of volume it takes to make this get unruly with feedback?

    Hey Rich thank you for all your uploads, I discovered your channel while trying to found eastmam t64 clips. How do you compare the neck of the t64 with the t59 and maybe with the godin 5th kingpin?

  • @starrynightguitars
    @starrynightguitars20 күн бұрын

    @@podfigo - thank you for checking out the videos. One big differences I see in the neck is that the body on the T 64 restricts you getting into the upper register where the T 59V had better access to the higher frets . That’s not a dealbreaker for me but I do miss getting into the range of the 15th to 17th frets. The height of the fret is very similar to the T 59V and they’re very nice. The Godin has almost no fret and they are very low. It also blocks your access to the fret above the 12th or 13th due to the body. I do like the Godin for sitting around and playing it acoustically as it’s pretty loud without any amplification.

  • @starrynightguitars
    @starrynightguitars20 күн бұрын

    @@podfigo thank you for checking out my videos. Both the T5 9V and the T 64 are beautiful guitars but I find some slight differences in the neck. The T64 doesn’t have as easy access to the higher frets once you get above the 12th fret. This is not a dealbreaker for me but the access to higher frets is much or assessable on the T 59V. If you were a player who likes to play way up the neck that fact might be a dealbreaker with the T 64. I love how light this guitar I s and I’m really loving the sound of the P90 pick ups. As far as the Godin, that has almost no fret. I tend to find myself playing that when I just grab a guitar and sit down and play it as it’s quite loud without any amplification.

    @@podfigo - yes, I’d say the T59 has a bit more chunkier neck. The T64 also feels like the fingerboard might be slightly more narrow. If you have large hands you might find the T59 more comfortable. Both are really comfortable to me so the difference is negligible.
