Eastman AR145F 13" Acoustic Carved Archtop Floating Pickup AR-145F

2013 Eastman AR145F 13” Carved Acoustic Archtop

One of the coolest models from Eastman, the AR145F. It’s a fully carved and fully acoustic 13” archtop. I have only seen a few of these over the years. I have a bit of a thing for smaller archtops these days, and this one has a lot of appeal.

Condition / Setup Notes

The guitar overall shows limited signs of use, with the exception of the pictured marks in the top and the back. The finish around the bridge shows wear from adjustments over the years. It looks that the pick guard bracket has been replaced. There is a small spacer between the side of the neck and the pickguard, which looks to be there to adjust the pickup balance / height off the top. Currently set up lightly, string height of about 4/64”-3/64”, and light relief.

Not often do you see a fully carved and acoustic archtop in this size, and in such an attractive little package. A rare model for Eastman, seldom seen for sale.
