Eastman AR680CE Classic Finish Electric Guitar

Every Eastman ships to the USA — duty & tariff free.

The Eastman AR680CE is a full 16" jazz archtop built in collaboration with guitarist and luthier Frank Pisano — and every detail reflects that pedigree. A solid spruce top over solid mahogany back and sides produces the deep, resonant projection that serious jazz players demand, while the Kent Armstrong Pisano floating pickup delivers a warm, transparent amplified voice that never compromises the guitar’s acoustic character. The craftsmanship throughout is exceptional: an ebony Pisano-style tailpiece with frog inlay, Pisano signature wood volume knob, 5-ply maple and ebony binding on the top, back, fingerboard, and headstock, and a Pisano signature inlay at the 12th fret. Gold Gotoh tuners and a GraphTec nut complete an instrument that earns its place among the finest archtops at any price point. Includes a hardshell case.
