Eastman AR372CE-SB Archtop Hollow-body – Sunburst

16" full hollow archtop built in the traditional jazz style. Laminated maple top, back, and sides keep the tone focused and controlled, with less susceptibility to feedback compared to carved tops. Parallel bracing gives it a quick, punchy response with clear note separation—well suited for comping and single-note lines.

3-piece maple neck with an ebony fingerboard, 12" radius, and a comfortable Even C profile. The neck sits in that medium depth range—substantial enough for chord work without feeling bulky. 25" scale length provides a slightly tighter feel than shorter jazz boxes, adding definition and snap to the attack.

Loaded with a single Kent Armstrong neck humbucker. Warm, rounded low end with a smooth top, but still retains articulation—notes don’t get lost in the mix. Straightforward volume and tone controls keep it simple and usable on stage.

Floating ebony bridge paired with a trapeze tailpiece keeps the top resonant and responsive. Bone nut, clean fretwork, and stable tuning. Typical weight is in the mid-6 lb range, so it’s comfortable for longer sessions.

Sunburst gloss finish gives it the classic archtop look without being overly flashy.
