Eastman AR480ce John Pisano Signature Model 'Sunburst' Electric Guitar

The Eastman AR480ce 'Sunburst' is a John Pisano Signature Model built to mark the 30th anniversary of Pisano's collaboration with Eastman's handmade series. Built with a 16" by 2-3/4" flamed laminated maple body and a 24-3/4" scale length, it carries the timeless design and craftsmanship that define Eastman's archtop instruments.

A single Seymour Duncan Seth Lover pickup captures a harmonious balance of vintage warmth and modern clarity, wired through CTS 500K linear taper potentiometers and an MC223 capacitor for a responsive, versatile tonal palette. Flamed maple binding on the body, headstock and pickguard, gold hardware, and an ebony Pisano-style tailpiece with its signature frog inlay give the AR480ce genuine collector's-grade detailing, with Pisano's own signature inlaid at the 19th fret, making it ideal for jazz players seeking an instrument tied directly to the genre's heritage.
