Eastman has shaken up the guitar world in the last decade with its great craftsmanship, and impeccable value for money, especially regarding archtops.

The prime example is this Eastman AR-372CE, which features a laminated maple top, back and sides, a Florentine cutaway, and is well influenced by the 175 style archtop that many jazzers love.

The usual suspects are the trapeze tailpiece, ebony bridge and base and a 5-ply black pickguard. The ebony fretboard features elegant split block inlays. The Kent Armstrong humbuckers provide the AR372CE with a strong and versatile sound. Comes in a hardshell case with TFOA-passport.
