Designed by the legend himself, this Eastman AR680ce John Pisano Archtop, here in Excellent+ condition, is a brilliantly constructed guitar that jazz players in particular will find a great fit. It has a Venetian cutaway-style body with a solid hand-carved Spruce top and hand-carved Mahogany back and sides, emitting a gorgeous tone and strong resonance. It has an Ebony fingerboard and Mahogany neck with a comfortable 1 3/4” nut width that maximizes playability, so you'll never strain yourself playing. A single custom Kent Armstrong humbucker pickup really shines when plugged in, and it doesn't take away from its natural tone. The trapeze-style Rosewood tailpiece with frog inlay is just another example of Eastman's unwavering devotion to building excellent guitars that both look and sound great. It does have just a couple small play wear marks on the body, but nothing significant—definitely not a guitar that saw much, if any, gigging. This Eastman AR680ce John Pisano Archtop is wonderful player and at only six years old and in Excellent condition, it's a bargain too. Original hard case included.
