Handmade by skilled luthiers, Eastman guitars and mandolins are crafted with precision by artisans, many of whom have been with the company from its early days. These luthiers understand that each piece of wood is unique, and they ensure that every instrument’s graduations and bracings are tailored accordingly. This careful attention to detail is what makes the Eastman PCH1-GAce Classic so special. It offers excellent quality at an entry-level price.

The Eastman PCH1-GAce Classic delivers exceptional tone for a great price. Inspired by the Grand Auditorium body shape, it balances between the larger Dreadnought and the smaller Grand Concert. Traditionally, the Dreadnought was favored by flatpickers, and the Grand Concert was loved by fingerstyle players. However, the GA shape was designed to cater to both styles. The PCH1-GAce offers a powerful acoustic voice that handles medium-strength picking and strumming with ease while maintaining excellent tonal balance. The guitar is especially clear in the midrange, producing well-defined notes that suit a variety of musical genres.
