2023 Eastman AR580CE Archtop $1500

[Fusionshred]

SOLD

Located on Long Island.

2023 Eastman AR580CE Archtop in near-mint condition with OHSC and COA. Weighs in at just under 6 lbs. Very nice, high-quality professional-grade archtop with a solid spruce top, maple back and sides, and a Seymour Duncan neck pickup. Neck profile is a medium C, a little beefier than the Gibson slim 60s profile or the typical import: gives this a nice, vintage vibe and plenty of mojo.

No signs of use. Full disclosure: Some markings in the finish on the top due to the bridge moving. Can’t really see them looking straight at it but light reflecting will reveal if you look carefully. Mint otherwise. There was some polish residue around the 16th fret which has been cleaned up.






Premium tonewoods and the time-honored process of meticulous hand craftsmanship form a harmonious relationship that has established Eastman as a major force in the world of archtop guitars. Most often associated with jazz, Eastman archtops are often used in many other styles of music due to their beautiful sound and finish. Eastman is proud to offer the broadest range of traditional and contemporary premium archtop guitars available today.

Carved Spruce top, laminated back and sides. Ebony bridge, tailpiece, pickguard and fretboard with vintage tone with superior midrange and volume. Classic Venetian cutaway, mounted humbucking pickup design.

That's a sweet deal!
GLWTS!
I personally love some of these Eastman archtops. I own a John Pisano, and a 3/4 upright Bass that I really dig.

Really like that finish.

Beautiful instrument. Wish it was SS 15" and I'd scoop it up. BTW- is it me or is there something going on at the 16th fret bass side in the photos?
