Sound Pure's Take
Perfect balance and pure, sweet acoustic tone are at the heart of what makes this guitar special. The Englemann Spruce top on this AC822 produces some of the warmest sounds I've heard from any Eastman acoustic, and it feels as comfortable as a guitar you've played for years. The Grand Auditorium body style is a great design for volume and dynamics, and this guitar really shines when playing lush, full chords or during fingerstyle performance. With Maple binding and an Abalone rosette, this guitar looks just as elegant as it sounds.
