Hi everyone,
I hope this is the right place for a wtb topic!
I'm looking for an Eastman ar805/ar810 old model (floating KA pickup and antique varnish finish). Anyone who might be selling it? I live in the UK so Europe might be easier but never know.
Cheers
Fran

Aaaay, Fonz -- welcome!
[There's a "WTB" feature on the post title so everyone can see it right away.]
Happy hunting -- the Eastmans are great guitars!

Sorry, it was Reverb that has 2 of the older models. Good luck!
Eastman AR805CE Sunburst 2004 | Reverb
Eastman AR805 CE 2005 Blonde | Reverb

Yes unfortunately none of them have the classic finish... I'll keep looking and praying

The blonde one looks very classic to me and more importantly, the price is almost too good to be true (I've seen used AR805CEs go for almost twice as much last year).

Something else to consider maybe:
Eastman AR-910CE Second Hand Electric Guitar
It's from a good shop (I've worked for them in the past), all UK based and you can actually go and try it out. I had a very brief glance at it while I was there recently - I remember being impressed. Great acoustic voice (loud, but also sounded mature like a vintage guitar) but I didn't have the chance to plug it in. If the price is a bit high you could see if they'll move on it... doesn't hurt to ask?

What are the differences with the AR810CE in fact? Is it just a question of luxury or are their design differences.
The top wood on this guitar looks gorgeous, it seems to have the wide kind of grain that I associate with a lush tone.

Hi all,
Still haven't found it, but I would not lose this thread yet.
If anyone has a clue please let me know!

Maybe I wasn't clear before, this is the colour/finish I'm looking for. Hopefully someone will sell it sooner or later.
-
The first link on reverb would be great, but unfortunately they do not ship outside of the US...

Thanks man, I wrote to him on FB and email, I'm in the UK now and I was hoping he had WhatsApp but apparently he doesn't. Is there any other way you think I could reach him without an overseas call?

Debussy it? Steal that classical lick!
