The Eastman AR403CED Archtop Electric Guitar is a Venetian-style hollow-body instrument built around a laminated maple top, back and sides, paired with a Traditional Even C-profile three-piece maple neck and an ebony fingerboard. The Classic finish, a Gloss TrueTone lacquer that offers the same tonal properties as nitrocellulose from a more environmentally friendly process, gives the guitar a warm, vintage-correct look.

A pair of Kent Armstrong HPAG-1 humbuckers delivers warm, resonant tones that suit everything from bluesy riffs to smooth jazz melodies, backed by nickel hardware, Jescar fretwire and CTS and Switchcraft electronics for reliable performance night after night. Ideal for jazz and blues players after a genuine archtop voice, the AR403CED pairs vintage Venetian styling with dependable modern hardware in a guitar built to hold up on stage and in the studio.

Features

  • Laminated maple top, back and sides create a Venetian-style hollow archtop body that projects with warmth, clarity and classic jazz-box resonance.
  • Traditional Even C-profile three-piece maple neck and ebony fingerboard offer a comfortable, fast-playing feel suited to chord-melody and single-note lead work alike.
  • Dual Kent Armstrong HPAG-1 humbucking pickups deliver warm, resonant tone across genres, from bluesy riffs to smooth jazz melodies.
  • Gloss TrueTone finish reproduces the tonal character of nitrocellulose lacquer through a more environmentally friendly process, in a classic archtop aesthetic.
  • Premium appointments including nickel hardware, Jescar fretwire, and CTS and Switchcraft electronics round out a guitar built for consistent tone and long-term reliability.
