Eastman guitars really were one of the first Chinese guitar companies to put out high-quality guitars, and have slowly changed our perception of what a high-quality Chinese guitars are capable of. The same guitar made by Collings and other fine USA makers is going to cost close to $20k, so here the tremendous value is that the highly-skilled Chinese luthiers can put out a very compelling guitar at a small fraction of the cost. Also, since quality of tonewoods available to the top Chinese builders is of the same quality or even better that what a smaller USA luthier can get, because they order is a much larger quantity. On top of that, buying a nice used like this one reduces the price even further, and hence you can get a great electric archtop guitar for a very modest amount of coin.
