An All-Solid AC in the Spirit of Eastman Luthiery
The Eastman AC322CE Natural embodies the brand's DNA: a fully handmade construction in Eastman's workshops, with a focus on musicality and meticulous finishes. Its naturally versatile Grand Auditorium format makes it a very coherent choice for guitarists seeking an expressive acoustic guitar, capable of performing well at home, in rehearsals, and on stage thanks to its built-in electronics.
Who Is This AC322CE For?
Thanks to its balanced size and cutaway, this guitar is especially suited for intermediate to advanced musicians looking for a responsive acoustic, comfortable to play, and reliable in amplification. It excels in fingerstyle, pop/folk, strumming accompaniment, and modern arrangements requiring clear note definition, including in the upper positions.
Sound
The solid Sitka spruce top delivers attack, clarity, and a wide dynamic range: it responds equally well to finger nuances and more energetic pick playing, with a clear projection. The solid sapele back and sides complement the sound with a warm tone, present mids, and beautiful harmonic coherence, ideal for standing out in a mix. The ebony fingerboard and bridge provide a precise feel and good note clarity, while the bone nuts enhance vibration transmission for richer sustain. When plugged in, the LR Baggs Element EAS VTC aims for a natural and usable concert sound, with a balanced response that easily adapts from soft to powerful playing.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The included case facilitates daily transport and protection. To preserve the luthiery, a guitar humidifier for use inside the case and a microfiber cloth for the glossy finish are simple and reliable choices.
