Sound Pure's Take

The ER1 is a great alternative to the Eastman semi-hollow design.  Designed by Otto D'Ambrosio, this smaller bodied, lightwight guitar has incredible tone.  The elimination of F-holes helps prevent feedback at higher volume levels when plugged in and the Kent Armstrong humbucker provides dark and creamy jazz tone. We especially like the "bar-style" fret markers.  It's time to set yourself apart and travel light!

From Eastman Guitars

El Rey Series guitars, designed for Eastman by Otto D’Ambrosio, are contemporary designs providing a wide variety of tone. Fitting many musical applications, they have a full and rich sound, while providing superior feedback rejection. The El Rey Series guitars feature hand carved hollow bodies and a variety of configurations. Experience the next step in the evolution of the electric archtop! 

 

  • Classic jazz archtop tone in a lightweight, resonant 14″ body
  • Carved spruce top, mahogany sides and carved mahogany back
  • Patented “neck block cutaway” construction for upper-register access without sacrificing tone
