Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

There's something great about thinner archtop designs, they're light, they're comfortable, they've got players who play a lot of music in mind. This Pisano signature model has all the trappings of a workhorse guitar with beautifully executed aesthetics. The pickups in these things are tremendously versatile and cover practically every tone on the jazz spectrum you can think of. This guitar can do all the things an ES-175 can do and more.

SP Luthier Notes: Setup

From Eastman Guitars

World-renowned jazz guitarist John Pisano worked with Eastman Guitars to create a signature model that encompasses every feature and spec he ever wanted in a guitar. In collaboration with Kent Armstrong pickups, John helped design a pickup that covers the complete tonal spectrum. The guitars sound as great plugged in as they do acoustically.
