Eastmans are all handmade in China, great quality.
Tell us more.
You probably need an almost perfect social credit score to work on those guitars. Right? Probably so dedicated that you sleep on a blanket beside the scroll saw, and take turns every 12 hours with your relief.
You know it's got to be good, when the builders are completely endorsed by the CCP.
frick China. Only buy their stuff used, at junk price.

They're great guitars, also come with a lifetime warranty, much like a Martin, if purchased new.

Eastman isn't like other Chinese builders, they're said to treat their employees very well
Bourgeois is doing a lot of work with them as well.
As for politics, it's nearly impossible not to consume products that are manufactured in China these days but I understand if you choose not to.
That said, if we're just talking guitars, Eastmans are just as good as a Martin, in my opinion.

Is Auggie an Astros fan and tipsy and angry?
Eastmans are awesome. I agree with buying used. But they are awesome.
OP. Buy used. If it sounds good and is solid wood (that’s what you’re after) buy it. The range you listed (700-1000) has nothing American made that is any good. Not really. If anyone disagrees, please let me know. I always NEED a new guitar.
I own a BlueRidge I’ve played side by side with an HD28 Martin. Sure the Martin sounded better, but not “extra zero” better.

For playing? None. It's about the sound and action, playability in general.
