If you're looking for a modern flattop steelstring guitar, Eastman's AC series offers a wide range of Grand Auditorium electro-acoustic guitars with many different wood configurations. For us, the AC422CE is the important centerpiece of the AC series. It is a modern guitar that will meet the needs of many guitarists. Both the guitarist looking for "the next step" or just the experienced players who like a versatile workhorse for "on the road". The AC422-AE has a solid Sitka Spruce top, Solid Aged Eucalyptus sides and back, 3-piece mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and a LR Baggs EAS pickup. You can expect a well-balanced tone with rich low-end.
