The Eastman AC522CE-GB Grand Auditorium is a refined and richly expressive acoustic-electric built for discerning players who seek both stage-ready performance and boutique-level craftsmanship. As part of Eastman's acclaimed AC series, the 522CE takes the company’s tradition of hand-built excellence and elevates it with premium tonewoods, thoughtful ergonomics, and elegant appointments. Its Grand Auditorium body shape — with a carefully carved Venetian cutaway and a player-friendly arm contour — makes it equally suitable for nuanced fingerstyle, complex chord work, and dynamic strumming, all while offering superb comfort for long playing sessions.
Tonally, the AC522CE-GB delivers a lush, articulate voice, thanks to its solid European spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides — a classic tonewood pairing known for clarity, warmth, and balance across the frequency range. The hand-carved scalloped X-bracing enhances projection and responsiveness, while the sound port on the upper bout offers a more immersive, player-facing experience. Whether you're a solo acoustic performer, recording artist, or versatile gigging musician, the AC522CE's combination of full-spectrum tone and natural-feeling playability will exceed expectations.
Visually, the AC522CE-GB is stunning: its Goldburst gloss finish, turquoise and magenta purfling, and hurricane pearl/abalone inlays set it apart with subtle elegance. The ebony fretboard and bridge, gold Gotoh tuners, and LR Baggs Element VTC electronics round out a feature set that blends high-end aesthetic with professional reliability. Available now at Haggerty’s Music and complete with a hardshell case, this guitar isn’t just a beautiful instrument — it’s a versatile tool built to perform on any stage or in any studio.
