Eastman necks- gloss or satin?
I just purchased a 6 year old Eastman AC508M, which I'm very impressed with. I would prefer a satin neck, though, instead of the gloss.
So I've been trying to figure out if Eastman makes a satin neck, or did in the past. Anybody know? Anybody got one in satin? Thanks!

A couple of years ago they switched over from gloss to satin necks so they're definitely out there....

News to me. Unless it was after 2014. My E6D from that year has a gloss finish.

The new open pore series have a semi-gloss or satin-ish neck.
My E6OM is a 2014 and full gloss. My AC-OM2 is a 2015 and semi-gloss (IMO) - but much closer to a satin. I suspect all of this series (ac-om1 & 2, AC-DR1 & 2 ACGA1 & 2) are all satin necks. The tradeoff - the OM's and DR's have 11/16 nut and the GA's have 1.75. I have not seen a series above 300 without gloss necks.

This is correct for most acoustics, electrics still come with gloss necks.

Hmm, news to me too. I guess since I haven't been in the market that it's been a while since I looked.

Both of my Eastmans have satin necks. I wouldn't have them otherwise.

ozrufus, that's interesting, your AC508M is satin while mine is gloss.
Mine is a 2010. Do you know what year yours was made?

The neck on my fairly new E20SS is gloss. I'll confirm when I am home later, but my guitar is a 2016.
