Finished in an elegant Thermo-Cured Blonde, this professional-grade hollow-body guitar delivers exceptional acoustic resonance, warmth, and tonal sophistication for the discerning jazz guitarist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the AR905CE is its beautifully hand-carved solid spruce top, paired with hand-carved solid maple back and sides. Eastman's Thermo-Cure process carefully heats the tonewoods to reduce moisture content and enhance their stability and responsiveness, recreating some of the tonal characteristics associated with naturally aged instruments. The result is an exceptionally lively, open acoustic voice with rich harmonic complexity, excellent projection, and remarkable dynamic sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts traditional 16-inch Venetian cutaway body offers a wonderful balance of comfort and acoustic depth, while the maple neck and ebony fingerboard provide smooth, effortless playability. The Traditional Even C neck profile, 25-inch scale length, and 22 medium jumbo Jescar frets make the AR905CE equally suited to intricate chord melodies, expressive single-note improvisation, and sophisticated jazz accompaniment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA premium Lollar Floating Johnny Smith pickup captures the guitar's natural acoustic character with exceptional clarity and warmth. Its floating design allows the carved spruce top to vibrate freely, preserving the instrument's organic resonance while delivering beautifully balanced amplified tones. Discreet thumbwheel controls provide convenient tonal adjustment without compromising the guitar's elegant appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExquisite appointments distinguish the AR905CE, including decorative snakewood binding, pearl and abalone diamond fingerboard inlays, an ebony pickguard with snakewood binding, gold Schaller tuners, and an adjustable ebony bridge.
