Eastman AR810CE-CS Archtop

Eastman archtops have earned a reputation as some of the best sounding and playing jazz guitars available. Built using "old world" construction methods, each instrument is meticulously hand crafted out of the finest materials. The AR810CE-CS features a hand carved, X braced top made of well aged spruce, flamed solid maple back and sides, and a maple neck. Aesthetically, this instrument takes inspiration from the modern, "clean," cello inspired look of builders such as D'Aquisto and Benedetto. The wood cello style tailpiece, dotless ebony fingerboard, Gotoh tuners, and nitrocellulose finish give the instrument a sophisticated, timeless appearance. The built-in Lollar humbucker produces a rich, classic jazz tone that yields complex chords and fat, single note leads.
