Eastman really did an excellent job on the top of this archtop, it's rare you get an archtop with this much crispness and clarity while still retaining the understated and mellow cool the genre of guitar requires. Naturally, the guitar has amazing punchy acoustic tone with a nice high-end bite. This guitar would perform excellently in an acoustic setting, either in a swing ensemble or in an intimate no-mic gig. But it doesn't stop there, the Kent Armstrong pickup really gives you everything you want from a set pickup: a wide and delightful variety of jazz tones, from mellow to almost 335-like hot, all available with a roll of the tone knob. Classic ebony tailpiece and pickguard also add a nice level of stately aesthetic to this pro-level jazzbox.

Designed by renowned guitarist John Pisano. Carved spruce top, carved maple back and sides with ebony bridge, tailpiece, pickguard & fingerboard. Custom Kent Armstrong humbucker pickup.

Committed to a high standard of quality, Eastman Guitars use of premium tonewoods and fine appointments, alongside the talent and accomplishment of its designers, craftsmen, and company philosophy continues one of the most fascinating musical traditions the world has known.
