I got this for Christmas and figured I'd share some photos in case anyone else is in need of a strorage solution like this.

It came from Sweetwater just folded up in the box, no assembly required, just unfolded like one of those luggage stands you see at hotels. Very sturdy.

It comes with places for 5 guitars but you can buy additional holders to add to the rack and as you can see from the photos, it could hold plenty of thin electric guitars.

Nice Rack!
What’s the guitar all the way to the left?

The Hercules hanging stands and their hanging wall hooks are superior too, for anyone in the market.

been looking at those Eastmans.
Those are some really nice guitars at a very reasonable price.
Looking for a 12 fret slot head 000. Wife says I’m a guitarholic.
Told her I’m going to enter a 12 fret program.

I've heard they vary a lot since they're handmade but the one I have is very similar to my Martin HD28. If I was buying new, I'd buy the Eastman just because its such a great value.

This confirms everything I’ve read about them. Every forum you read when people ask what guitar should I buy, Eastman comes up for the reason you stated and price wise.
You’ve chosen well on all of yours, really awesome collection.
Enjoy them for a long time.

I have one in my attic designated for future use. I hope it’s not ruined. I’ve read they can get sticky over time.

I have Guitar Acquirement Syndrome, I have a bad problem with not being satisfied with the gear I have

The only one on that rack that I had this time two years ago is the cigar box.

Here's my thread from when I first got it, has some better pics and discussion about it Eastman thread

I only have vestiges of GAS left. I'm one guitar away from having my final collection.

A DGT.

Well, while what I said is true...it’s been replaced by recording gear.

Guitars pale in cost.

I have decided to build a new bass over this year. It will be #5 so I may be looking into one of these racks to save space.

How does that Eastman standup to the Martin?

Not a major noticeable difference that I can tell.

I have a vintage Martin that I love but hate to drag it out to jams, outdoor gigs, etc. and have been kicking around the idea of getting something. Guess I need to put Eastman on the list of possibles.
