Eastman AR503CE Archtop Electric Guitar Classic

Traditional Meets Contemporary, Quality Meets Affordability

The Eastman AR503CE Archtop Electric Guitar, finished in Classic, is a Venetian-style hollow-body which features a Laminated Flamed Maple body, solid Spruce top, Traditional Even C-profile Maple neck, and Ebony fingerboard, for smooth playability, and sweet vintage tone. A single Seymour Duncan Seth Lover Humbucker in the neck is perfect for warm, bluesy riffs, and smooth jazz licks, and can even handle it when you crank up the gain. This pickup is one of the most faithful P.A.F.-style pickups available; built just like Seth Lover intended, it strikes a rare balance between warm, open lows and pleasantly sweet highs. Single notes sing, while chordal progressions have a percussive feel, and a rich, full piano-like tone.

The AR503CE features Eastman's Gloss TrueTone finish - TrueTone is an environmentally friendly finish, with the same consistency and superior tonal characteristics as nitrocellulose. Besides its premium tonewoods and pickups, the Eastman AR503CE has a range of other premium features, such as Nickel hardware, Jescar fretwire, as well as CTS and Switchcraft electronics.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Eastman AR503CE Archtop Electric Guitar, in Classic finish, is a great traditional hollowbody workhorse, with vintage tone, playability and aesthetics, and premium quality contemporary features and appointments, at an affordable price.
