Description
What makes this guitar special: An affordable archtop with great acoustic and amplified tone, this Eastman model aptly celebrates Jim Fisch, the man Eastman brought on in 2004 to improve and expand their product line. Built with gorgeous cuts of lustrous mahogany and a Classic-finished solid spruce top, it boasts not only a great look, but natural resonance that rivals some smaller-bodied acoustics. Its amplified tone is similarly good, as the mini-humbucker acts as a great complement, projecting super clean and warm-bodied tone. Its finish checking gives it a tenured look and a touch of vintage vibe, and the love marks here and there show that it was often-played and well-loved, but is still clean enough to show it was also well cared for. Plus, it includes a hardshell case and a pro setup so it plays as great as it sounds.
Condition: This guitar is in very good condition overall. It does show various nicks, dings, dents, chips, scuffs, scratches, finish checking, and other forms of light playwear, but is still in great shape overall. The frets show only light wear and still have a considerable amount of playing time left in them. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should.
Body: Single cutaway double-bound hollow body with mahogany back and sides and spruce top in Classic finish. Raised and bound wood grain pickguard with volume and tone controls under-mounted. Adjustable rosewood bridge and rosewood tailpiece. Bound F-holes.
Neck: Slim to medium C shape mahogany neck and bound rosewood fingerboard. Gold imperial-style tuning machines. 1.75” nut width. 25” scale length. .84” deep at the 1st fret and .95” deep at the 12th.
Electronics: Eastman mini-humbucker. 1 x volume, 1 x tone control.
Weight: 5 lbs 12 oz
Playability/Sound: The C shape neck is very easy to move around and plays well from the nut up into the cutaway with a variety of different playing styles. The mini-humbucker is super clean and perfectly complements the woody, mild-sustain of its acoustic properties.
Case: Includes hardshell case.
