Eastman AC222CE-DLX-GB Goldburst

AC222CE-DLX: a modern electro-acoustic with a "Goldburst" look

With the AC222CE-DLX-GB, Eastman offers an electro-acoustic guitar emphasizing build quality and musicality: Truetone Gloss finish, meticulous details (binding, inlays), and premium wood selection. The "DLX" version enhances the impression of a "high-end" guitar, while the Goldburst finish provides a striking visual presence, ideal for both stage and studio.

For which guitarists and styles?

This guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced musicians seeking an expressive electro-acoustic, equally comfortable with fingerstyle playing and strumming. Its balance makes it suitable for pop, folk, vocal accompaniment, acoustic blues, and more nuanced arrangements, with excellent clarity of chords and melodic lines.

Sound

The solid Sitka spruce top delivers a crisp attack, beautiful dynamics, and effective projection, especially appreciated when varying playing intensity. The solid ovangkol back and sides complement with full lows and rich mids while maintaining clarity in the highs: an excellent compromise between warmth and definition. The hand-scalloped X bracing promotes sound openness, generous sustain, and a more "alive" response to touch. For comfort, the ebony fingerboard enhances attack precision, while the traditional "C" profile and 12" / 305 mm radius offer a natural grip, suitable for both chords and more articulated passages.

Recommended compatible accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original setup, favor a set of 12-53 acoustic strings in phosphor bronze (such as the factory-installed D'Addario XT Phosphor Bronze .012 - .053). A standard capo for acoustic guitar will also be suitable to explore other keys without changing your chord shapes.
