Sound Pure's Take
This may very well be the new industry standard for versatility and value! The Grand Auditorium body style has been established as the modern standard for a guitar that can handle all manner of hybrid styles--flatpicking, fingerpicking, lead, rhythm, solo, or group playing. The new Grand Auditoriums from Eastman only increase the appeal! You can do just about anything, anywhere on these new AC-GAs, whether you're going with the Sitka/Sapele combo or the all-Sapele--both solid wood, they also both come standard with a Fishman Sonitone, allowing you to make the easy switch from the couch to the songwriter's circle. The little touches like handcarved braces and an open pore finish simply shouldn't be found in this price range! We've always been huge fans of Eastman--call us up and find out what their latest and greatest is all about!
From Eastman Guitars
The modern profile of the Grand Auditorium represents the best of both worlds for flat-pickers and fingerstylists. The Grand Auditorium is a true hybrid that has many of the attributes of smaller bodies with the volume, punch and bass of a dreadnought without sacrificing anything.
