PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE
We're proud to present this stunning Eastman AR380CE hollowbody guitar in a beautiful Honey Burst! This gorgeous instrument is the signature guitar of renowned jazzman John Pisano. What can we say? The man knows exactly what makes a great guitar tick.
It features a fully-hollow flame maple laminate body, which is an essential part of the formula for that super-resonant, acoustic-like response of a hollowbody archtop, along with looking simply stunning underneath the Honey Burst finish. The neck is mahogany which adds some warmth to the sound, along with a gorgeous ebony fretboard for extra clarity and brightness for chords and single notes. Classy appointments such as the custom Pisano ebony tailpiece, bridge, and pickguard and wooden knobs adorn the instrument.
At the heart of this axe are a set of Pisano's signature Kent Armstrong pickups. These pickups are perfect for Pisano's playing style, and the combination of warmth and clarity ensures your clean tone is both full-bodied and clear, never getting muddy no matter how far you roll the tone knob back. It is simply the quintessential jazz electric guitar tone.
If you're looking at this instrument, chances are you've done your research and know just how underrated Eastman guitars are for the money. This AR380CE is no exception. Highly recommend checking one out!
