The Eastman AR905CE is one of the flagship models in Eastman’s hand-carved archtop line, built from premium tonewoods and finished with top-tier craftsmanship. This 16 inch fully carved archtop features a hand-graduated spruce top and carved flamed maple back and sides, delivering a warm, articulate voice with exceptional acoustic response and definition. Elegant details like flamed maple binding, an ebony fingerboard, and a Venetian cutaway make this a refined and expressive jazz instrument.
Equipped with a Lollar Johnny Smith floating pickup, it offers a beautifully natural amplified tone that preserves the acoustic character of the guitar. Smooth playability, great dynamic sensitivity, and a classic archtop voice that sits perfectly in traditional or modern jazz settings.
This example is in near-mint condition with minimal signs of handling and includes the original hardshell case and certificate.
