Condition: Used, Excellent

The Spruce top with Hog back and sides is one of my favorite wood combinations on an Arch, and Eastman executed this design brilliantly. The Mahogany back and sides have a warm balance across the spectrum that is just brought to life by the responsive nature of the Spruce. The cutaway brings a little natural compression that works wonderfully with the balanced sound. The Kent Armstrong floating bucker is rich and rounded and able to nail just about any tone under the sun we would ever need.

About Eastman Guitars

When it comes to building a guitar, there is a big difference between assembly and artistry. If history has taught us anything, it is that there is no substitute for skilled craftsmanship. At Eastman, each instrument is given the attention to detail required to ensure that it reaches its maximum potential. Features such as hand-scalloped bracing and precision tap tuning are just two examples of the way we differentiate ourselves. Considering the outward beauty of an Eastman Guitar, it’s often easy to overlook the skill and artistry applied to the inside of such a fine instrument.
