Eastman AC422CE-AE 'Sitka / Aged Eucalyptus' Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Eastman AC422CE-AE is the latest iteration of the handmade AC422 model, pairing a solid Sitka spruce top with an Aged Eucalyptus body for a striking look and rich tonal character. Built in a Grand Auditorium shape with a cutaway, it offers versatility and easy access to the upper frets for players moving between rhythm and lead work.

An LR Baggs Element EAS VTC pickup system ensures the guitar's acoustic voice translates faithfully when amplified, whether on stage or in the studio. The traditional Even "C" profile mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard offer a comfortable playing feel, while hand-carved scalloped X bracing and classic pearl inlays round out a build that is ideal for gigging players who want genuine solid-wood tone with plug-in reliability, finished in a gloss that shows off the Sitka spruce and Aged Eucalyptus grain.
