Eastman AR805CE-GB Goldburst Electric Archtop Guitar with Hardshell Case

The Eastman AR805CE-GB represents the finest traditions of handcrafted archtop guitar making, combining premium solid tonewoods, elegant appointments, and exceptional tonal refinement. Finished in a stunning Goldburst, this professional-grade hollow-body guitar features a carved solid spruce top, hand-carved solid maple back and sides, and a custom-wound Lollar Imperial humbucker, delivering the warmth, depth, and expressive character sought after by discerning jazz guitarists.

At the heart of the AR805CE is its beautifully crafted 16-inch Venetian cutaway body. The solid spruce top provides outstanding acoustic responsiveness, dynamic sensitivity, and rich harmonic complexity, while the carved solid maple back and sides contribute clarity, projection, and articulate note definition. Its traditional 3 1/4-inch body depth produces a full, resonant acoustic voice that translates beautifully when amplified.

A comfortable maple neck with Eastman's Traditional Even C profile and smooth ebony fingerboard provides exceptional playability. The 25-inch scale length and 22 medium jumbo Jescar frets offer excellent articulation and control, making the AR805CE equally suited to sophisticated chord melodies, expressive single-note improvisation, and traditional jazz accompaniment.

Equipped with a custom-wound Lollar Imperial humbucker in the neck position, the AR805CE delivers beautifully balanced vintage-inspired tones with warm, rounded lows, rich midrange, and clear, detailed highs. Its responsive electronics preserve the instrument's natural acoustic character while providing the smooth, articulate amplified sound associated with classic jazz archtops.

Premium appointments include an adjustable ebony bridge, ebony-on-brass tailpiece, ebony pickguard with ivoroid binding, and gold Gotoh tuners with elegant ebony buttons. Intricate seven-ply ivoroid binding and Eastman's beautiful Goldburst Truetone gloss finish complete this exceptional instrument.

Includes Eastman hardshell case.
