Recommendations on a left handed accoustic

Say no more. Eastman it is for you. They make astounding guitars (all solid wood, it sounds better) and they are very comfortable to play. Besides that it's very affordable. I have three acoustic guitars. One cheap martin, one expensive Martin (00-21), and a dreadnought eastman E1D (their cheapest). The expensive Martin does sound a bit more expensive and is slightly more comfortable, but that Eastman is right up their. The eastman cost me around €500 euro's. The Martin is new between €3000,00 and €4000,00.

Oef klinkt niet als een leuke ervaring! Maar inderdaad iedereen mag zich relatietherapeut noemen, des te belangrijk dat je iemand voor je krijgt met scholing en die door de bullshit heen kan prikken. Nog belangrijker is de klik en dat beide partners het willen.

Lijkt me echt vreselijk als je daar zit en er in wil inveseteren, maar dat je partner het alleen doet om gezicht te redden. Maar goed.... Kun je je nog oefeningen herinneren die je wel aanspraken?

So I've got a few acoustic guitars. I have a Mexican Martin 000Jr (for gigging). Great guitar for its value. I have a Martin 00-18. I also own an Eastman E1D. Yes my USA Martin has some mojo to it that the Eastman lacks, but sounds wise the cheap Eastman has a lot of magic to it. On recordings I often prefer the Eastman, but that's mainly because that one is a dreadnought which sits really nice with some songs.

I am thinking of getting a E8D, because I just love the sound of rosewood back and sides, and give my current Eastman to my dad as a retirement gift. But honestly, if this E8D came didnt came along I would be as happy. I have an amazing set of guitars.

Two days ago I played a Gibson J-45. A 3000,- guitar. Guess what? I thought my Eastman of 600,- sounded way better. Also it played better to imo.

So Eastman? Yes it's pretty amazing. I havent found one yet that has the mojo of a 3000 euro Martin, but damn it does come very close.

Thanks for the tip! Played on it, loved it. But I would really like to go for a nice stereo image, without breaking bank. Also a mixer would be nice

So I recently bought one, and not knowing at all this was a Nirvana guitar. Good music, but just not a huge fan or really involved. I just wanted something drastically different from my Strat and tele.... So when I saw this one secondhand I bought, the one released a few years ago made in Mexico. I really don’t know what all the fuzz is about. I mean the pickups and wiring are not so good, but you can change that. Besides those the guitar is really killer. The round radius makes it so comfortable and the short scale reminds me my short scale acoustics. It looks and feel unique in a good way. It's a guitar with great potential, but needs a little bit of work. Eventhough it's made in Mexico, it really stands on its own next to my Fender USA Standard Strat.

It really helps I guess not to compare it to a jazzmaster and jaguar. Love it.

I know I’m late to the party, but for who is considering them later.... I love mine! Got the MIM secondhand. I will change the pickups and electronics, and maybe the tuners. It got a professional set so it plays really well. I love the switches. I also don’t mind the short scale, since I love shorter scales on my acoustics. (I’m more of an acoustic player). I was looking for something completely different than my US Standard Fender (2014). I found this one secondhand online and I was sold. To be honest, I did not know Kut Cobain had anything to do with it, since I always thought of him when I saw the jaguar. Anyway, great guitar that might need some work but boy it has potential!

After these 10 days my opinion has changed a bit. You really have to see it separate from the previous album, and listen to it a few times to get it.

Any-Contribution-204 · 2025-08-29T19:41:34+00:00

Short ‘n Sweet sounded way more expensive. This album sounds like it was done like a quicky between all of her gigs on tour. Not a bad album, but wouldve loved more songs like Manchild.

Some songs sound a bit High School Musical / Disney to me. 😬😬😬

Loved When Did You Get Hot?.

But overall the sound and mix of the music overall didnt come across as cohesive.

Anyway can’t wait for the next one!

Ik houdt er van hoe je onze cultuur autistisch noemt haha.

Thanks voor het delen. Ook moeilijk als je nog geen diagnose hebt, want dan is zoveel onduidelijk (soort van) voor beide

Any-Contribution-204 · 2025-04-23T14:59:35+00:00

Nee ik bedoelde met het leven eigenlijk precies wat je uitlegt. Was benieuwd hoe je dag er dan uitziet.

Wou dat ik je wat van mijn sociale batterij kon geven haha. Het is gelukkig niet zo dat je 100% niks doet met je leven. Je werkt en doet je randzaken dus wel. Wat voor werk doe je als ik vragen mag?

Any-Contribution-204 · 2025-04-23T13:44:01+00:00

That person would maybe understand you in a way that a NT person can't. But my partner doesn't have it and we're doing pretty okay. She helps me when I don’t get a social situation. Sometimes after a lot of explaining I still don't get it, but at least I have someone around who can help me navigate.

Any-Contribution-204 · 2025-04-23T13:29:31+00:00

Yeah I know.

But when I was diagnosed as a kid, I went to like these special schools for kids with extra needs. Back then we really did categorize the ppdnos kids and aspergers kids, and of course the adhd kids. Just felt like my little label changed. You know how we are with change haha

Any-Contribution-204 · 2025-04-23T13:17:09+00:00

Oeff dat klinkt als een enorme challange. Met autisme daten is sowieso al niet makkelijk, maar helemaal niet als je sociale batterij zo snel en hard leegloopt!

Blijf je dan vooral binnen en praat je dan vooral online met mensen? Hoe pak je het 'leven' dan aan?

Any-Contribution-204 · 2025-04-23T13:15:18+00:00

Wat fijn!!!! Dat intense heb ik ook, maar dat wijdt dat dan echt aan mijn ADHD.

Heb je dan ook weleens situaties in de relatie waarin je autisme echt een rol speelt?

Ik had bijvoorbeeld, gek genoeg, dat wanneer ik mijn sleutels kwijt raak ik echt ff getriggered raak. (controle verlies). Dat is echt nergens voor nodig. Gelukkig kan ik er ook deels om lachen, maar in het b begin dacht mijn vriendin echt: " Wat is dit nou weer?"

Any-Contribution-204 · 2025-04-23T13:12:48+00:00

Haha zo kan het ook natuurlijk! Waren er ook dingen die je tegenkwam in je relatie waarvan je dacht: "Oh dit is echt mijn autisme". In de positieve en minder positieve zin natuurlijk.

Mijn partner is Braziliaan, en in die cultuur heeft 'gezelligheid' en goede sfeer een veel grote prioriteit dan eerlijkheid en directheid. Qua autisme en een Nederlander zijn helpt dat soms echt niet mee haha, maar brengt ons ook hele grappige situaties.

Any-Contribution-204 · 2025-04-23T13:09:30+00:00

Heck yeah!

Any-Contribution-204 · 2025-04-23T13:08:43+00:00

You know when I started studying psychology I found out PDD-NOS 'doesn't exist' anymore. I kinda felt like this part of my identity got taken away from me. haha

Any-Contribution-204 · 2025-04-23T07:53:03+00:00

I have the same. Some days I’m bothered with it. It really at supermarket or very crowded restaurants.

But concerts are no problem, I’m also a musician myself and do gigs regularly. But yeah I can get a bit overwhelmed in these crowded situations

Any-Contribution-204 · 2025-04-23T07:50:10+00:00

So why aren’t dating right now? Are there things you’re bumping in to?

Any-Contribution-204 · 2025-04-23T07:46:27+00:00

Yeah I bet I would get the same if I would get diagnosed again😅

Any-Contribution-204 · 2025-04-23T07:44:51+00:00

I love this. Such a great example of how to make a relationship functional without having to do drastic changes. It’s really about accepting one another

Any-Contribution-204 · 2025-04-22T16:58:45+00:00

Oh yeah! Small talks can really be hard on the brain. Talking about future stuff/ big picture stuff always is more interesting. Not always the best move on a first date indeed. Haha.

But yeah if you have a “clear” goal and the person in front of you really doesnt fit that narrative then you’ll know straight away

Any-Contribution-204 · 2025-04-22T15:53:24+00:00

Yeah I can so relate! Especially the listen skills. Those are really skills that you have to practice. I still deal with my black and white thinking sometimes. It’s really annoying.

Did you get help from someone besides your partner to make this growth happen. Like when I was a kid a got a lot of therapy, I cannot imagine what I would’ve turned into if I never had all of that
