Eastman AR503CE 'Classic Finish' Archtop Electric Guitar

Unveil the brilliance of the Eastman AR503 Archtop Guitar, a masterful blend of premium tonewoods and impeccable craftsmanship that resonates with classic elegance. Crafted with a carved spruce top and maple laminate sides and back, the AR503 is a testament to Eastman's commitment to producing exceptional archtop instruments. Its custom-mounted humbucking pickup delivers a warm, timeless amplified tone, while its feedback-resistant nature ensures a flawless experience on stage.

Handcrafted with unwavering dedication, the AR503 showcases the perfect marriage of premium tonewoods and meticulous handwork that defines Eastman's legacy in the realm of archtop guitars. While jazz is its traditional domain, the versatility of Eastman archtops extends to various musical genres, given their exquisite sound, range, and exquisite finish.

With its vintage-inspired Venetian cutaway, the AR503 offers an irresistible invitation to explore the melodic wonders of this timeless design. The 3-piece maple neck boasts a comfortable Traditional Even C profile, providing a seamless connection between your fingers and the ebony fingerboard, bridge, tailpiece, and pickguard. The 12" fingerboard radius ensures an effortless playing experience across all frets.

What truly sets the AR503 apart is its mounted humbucking pickup design, infusing this archtop with a warm, classic amplified tone that resonates beautifully. The guitar's vintage-inspired tone is complemented by superior midrange and volume, making it an exceptional choice for both melodic subtleties and powerful performances.

Every detail, from the carved spruce top to the laminated back and sides, contributes to the AR503's exceptional sonic character and visual allure. This guitar is more than an instrument; it's a masterpiece that speaks to your artistic journey.
