Eastman Craftsmanship. Martin & Taylor Tone At A Fraction of the Price.

Made before the added side sound port, this is a superior instrument to the newer models. I believe that hole alters the air-chamber resonance and steals forward-facing volume meant for the audience. Plus, after playing for 60 years, I never once had trouble hearing the guitar nuances. This instrument projects well and has a balanced tone across the strings — only found on high-end acoustics.

It took a lot of research to find this guitar, and I love it. It isIf you've spent time comparing high-end acoustics, you already know the names: Martin. Taylor. Eastman belongs right alongside them — and serious players and dealers know it. Handcrafted in Eastman's renowned workshop using the same violin-making traditions that have earned it a reputation, the AC722CE is a genuinely professional-grade instrument. This one is pristine — cared for, clean, and ready to be someone's main stage and studio guitar.

This is solid European Spruce over solid Rosewood, hand-scalloped bracing, an ebony fingerboard and bridge, and abalone appointments throughout — the exact recipe that put Martin and Taylor on the map, built by a company that has quietly become the choice of working musicians who want that tone without the "brand tax."
