Sound Pure's Take

We can't get enough of these Eastmans! Exceptional spruce top/maple back and sides pairing captures the traditional bright, mellow tones of these classic archtop jazz guitar builds. Running up and down the fretboard, the guitar responds perfectly in any position both tonally and playing style-wise. Eastman cannot be beat for quality and price!

From Eastman Guitars

Jazz Boxes

Fans of traditional or modern jazz will feel right at home with our handcrafted take on archtop guitars. We’ve brought classic designs to life and into the hands of legendary players like John Pisano and Frank Vignola.

Solid Resonance

More wood, more sound. Our solid wood archtops create a deep resonance and inviting warmth that makes them irresistible to jazzers of all backgrounds and styles.

About Eastman

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.
