Celebrating 30 years of Eastman craftsmanship, the AR480CE-SB John Pisano is a refined, fully hollow archtop designed for players who live in the world of classic jazz tone and touch. Its 16-inch single-cutaway body features flamed laminated maple top, back, and sides, delivering a crisp attack with warm depth and impressive note clarity. A maple neck with an ebony fingerboard offers a smooth, articulate feel, while elegant details like flamed maple binding, pearl inlays, and a high-gloss sunburst finish give this instrument a timeless, stage-ready presence.
This model pays tribute to the late John Pisano, one of the most respected jazz guitarists of the 20th century and Eastman’s chief guitar endorser, known for his work with legends such as Herb Alpert, Joe Pass, and Peggy Lee. A single neck-position Seymour Duncan Seth Lover humbucker captures the warm, airy response of early humbuckers, perfectly suited for traditional jazz phrasing. Signature appointments, including an ebony bridge with Pisano’s frog inlay, wooden knobs, gold hardware, and a pearl “John Pisano” inlay at the 19th fret, make this archtop a fitting homage to his legacy, ready to inspire the next generation of jazz players.
