Sound Pure's Take
The John Pisano model from Eastman is one of the highest quality Eastman archtops. The 16" width and 2 3/4" depth make it the perfect size for travel and performance. The Kent Armstrong pickup delivers a warm, woodsy sound, great for modern tones and bringing out the natural acoustic properties of the instrument. The headstock and tailpiece are both ebony with rosewood inset, plus ebony volume/tone knobs and Schaller tuners. A handmade guitar with these features at this price is a serious value!
From Eastman Guitars
The John Pisano Signature archtop guitar features a 16" body constructed from highly flamed maple and select spruce. Body depth is a very comfortable 2 3/4". The 3-piece maple neck is carved to John?s demanding specifications. The unique headstock, pickguard, volume, tone controls, and adjustable tension tailpiece are constructed of ebony, highlighted with highly figured exotic woods. The wood binding, gold plated Schaller tuners with ebony buttons, and adjustable ebony bridge complete the distinctive package.
