Sound Pure's Take
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.
