Eastman AR905 Archtop Guitar Blonde Thermo Cure - Spruce/Maple
SKU: AR905CE-BD-TCThe Eastman AR905CE Thermo-Cure is a professional-grade 16-inch archtop guitar built for players who demand rich, complex jazz tone with the option to go acoustic. Its hand-carved, solid thermo-cured spruce top and maple back and sides deliver the warm, woody resonance of a seasoned vintage instrument straight out of the case — the thermal curing process artificially ages the tonewoods, opening up the sound in a way that normally takes decades of playing. A Lollar Johnny Smith floating pickup captures every nuance of the carved top's natural voice without compromising its acoustic properties, making this a true dual-purpose instrument. Refined details like snakewood binding, pearl and abalone diamond inlays, and a Truetone gloss finish give the AR905CE a distinctive elegance that sets it apart from the crowd. Built entirely by hand at Eastman's workshop, this is a serious archtop for serious players.
