Eastman AC508CE Acoustic-Electric Cutaway Spruce/Mahogany -Discontinued

This vintage-styled grand concert has plenty of punch, but it’s a pretty punch. The Engelmann spruce top practically glistens with overtones, but the mahogany reflects warm, dry fundamental. It’s an ideal fingerstyle guitar. Small and focused, but captivating. It’s a snow-globe of tone.

Its aesthetic is earthy, yet refined, with a matching wood rosette and gold tuners. The cutaway allows for clean passages up the neck and the pickup system amplifies the true tone of the instrument. 

It’s a sweet, woody fingerstyle guitar with a wide harmonic spectrum. It also loves alternative tunings. An open string on this thing is a whole universe, but one with lots of trees.  

From Eastman:

With its shape inspired by the contours of the great classical guitars of Spain, the Grand Concert’s addition of steel strings to this iconic design creates a powerful instrument. Most commonly associated with finger-stylists, the Grand Concert is also flat-pick friendly due to its depth. All Eastman Grand Concert models have an elegant slotted headstock and a functional 14 frets clear of the body." This guitar includes an archtop hardshell case.
