Eastman AR805CE Hollowbody Archtop Guitar - New

Get Traditional Hollowbody Tones With The Eastman AR805CE Hollowbody Archtop Guitar

Fans of traditional or modern jazz will feel right at home with their handcrafted take on archtop guitars. They've brought classic designs to life and into the hands of legendary players like John Pisano and Frank Vignola. Eastman offers three different construction options with three different sounds and functionalities.

Laminate: Not a Four Letter Word

To be great is to be misunderstood. Eastman are true believers in the de-stigmatization of laminate guitars. The tightly compressed laminate woods dampen down overtones created by solid woods, and lend themselves to perfect tone production in louder environments. Durability and versatility make Eastman laminated archtops idea for the player looking to take a more modern approach to their rig.

Blending of Worlds

As far as great combinations go, it doesn’t get much better than the pairing of increased acoustic sustain and tight, focused, amplified sound that the solid wood top and laminate back & sides make possible.

Solid Resonance

More wood, more sound. Their solid wood archtops create a deep resonance and inviting warmth that makes them irresistible to jazzers of all backgrounds and styles.

Big Body = Big Sound

Sometimes, bigger can certainly be better. 16" and 17" guitars provide a larger spectrum of overtones that create a fuller acoustic tone. Larger archtop guitars can run into feedback issues at louder electric volumes, but shine in quieter, more controlled volume settings.
