Eastman AR803CE-16D Classic Archtop Guitar - USED, from Eastman

This AR803CE-16D may not be the most flawless used guitar we've had in the shop, but what it lacks in polish it more than compensates for in feel and tone. An all-solid wood guitar such as this will change dramatically over time as the polymers in the woods undergo a chemical change. In addtion to this natural aging process, vibrations from regular use massage the woods and allow them to open up even more. This guitar has been played extensively for about 4 years, and during this time it has been able to mature and come to life in a very musical way. With the current list price of this model at $2700, this is an absolute steal!

Premium tonewoods and the time honored process of meticulous hand craftsmanship form a harmonious relationship that has established Eastman as a major force in the world of archtop guitars. Today Eastman offers the widest selection of classic and contemporary archtop guitars in the industry. Most often associated with jazz, Eastman archtops are frequently used in many other styles of music due to their beautiful sound, range and finish.
