The 900 series are rarely seen on the vintage market, and for a good reason: owners are keepers. With a combination of workmanship, materials and design unheard of in its price range, Eastman has raised the bar for quality, performance and value in a true handmade jazz guitar. Made from Solid bookmatched-handcarved fine grain spruce top; handcarved AAA tiger flame handcarved maple back and sides with Venetian cutaway; 3 piece tiger flame maple neck; solid ebony fingerboard/ ebony truss rod cover/ 7-ply body binding/ 5-ply neck and peghead binding/ triple bound f-holes; solid bone nut.
All solid. All carved. Hand built, one at a time, with remarkable high-figure tonewoods. Eastman archtop guitars are individually crafted by violin-trained luthiers, without shortcuts, the old-fashioned way. And they share the appointments of the costliest high-end guitars. Solid ebony finger rest, and fingerboard like a Benedetto. An X-braced top and 1 3/4" nut, like a Johnny Smith. Even triple bound f-holes, like the Super 400. Quite the exquisite Jazz guitar indeed.
Great playing, and sounding guitar with no significant issue to speak on, there are of course some cosmetic dings here and there which is to be expected for a guitar that was played for the last 16 years. There are some dings in the finish on the soundboard of the guitar (see photos, or request more), there is also so light lacquer checking in the the finished when viewed at the correct angle.
