The Eastman AC522CE-GB is a masterfully built Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar that pairs premium tonewoods with rich tonal character and an eye-catching Gold Burst finish. A solid Engelmann spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides deliver a warm, articulate tone with excellent dynamic response, and the gloss nitrocellulose finish enhances resonance while giving the guitar genuine visual presence.

A Traditional Even "C" mahogany neck and 12 inch radius ebony fingerboard offer a smooth, effortless playing feel, and the comfortable 16 inch Grand Auditorium body provides a balanced voice suited to fingerstyle, flatpicking, or strumming. Fitted with an LR Baggs Element pickup for natural, expressive amplified tone, and finished with mahogany binding, a wood rosette, and pearl dot inlays, the AC522CE-GB is ideal for players who want stage-ready electronics in a genuinely refined all-solid instrument.
