AR805CE & AR610CE: 16” vs. 17” - Eastman Archtop Comparison
The AR805CE from Eastman is a huge sounding 16” archtop guitar. This deep bodied 16" solid carved spruce archtop is a guitarist's guitar, with excellent tone, impeccable playability and refined aesthetics. The AR610CE is a 17" f-hole archtop with cutway with mahogany back and sides. The classic finish is gorgeous and commanding, and this jazzbox has a rosewood board and pickguard, which adds an elegant, earthy vibe to the overall aesthetic. The added surface area of a 17" archtop increases projection and bass response, but the 16" inch is more comfortable and feedback resistance. These guitars are available for SoundPure’s Try-Before-You-Buy program, so if you want to hear how these guitars sound in your studio with your gear, shoot us an email at Archtops@SoundPure.com or call us anytime at 919.682.5552.
