Eastman AC722LCE Natural

A modern folk guitar focused on performance and refined finishes

The AC722LCE Natural - Left Hand fits within the spirit of contemporary folk guitars seeking a balance between acoustic power, playing comfort, and level of detail typically reserved for more exclusive lutherie instruments. Its choice of solid woods and finishing elements (abalone rosette, multiple purflings, armrest contour) clearly place it in a "high-end" approach, designed to sustainably accompany a demanding musician.

Who is this left-handed AC722LCE for?

This left-handed model is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists who want an expressive folk guitar capable of nuance and dynamics. The wider nut (1 3/4" / 44.5 mm) favors a more comfortable left-hand spacing, appreciated in fingerstyle, arpeggios, extended chords, and open tunings.
In terms of styles, this "spruce/rosewood" configuration thrives in folk, pop, singer-songwriter, vocal accompaniment, but also in flatpicking whenever projection, balanced lows, and detailed highs are sought. The body size (16" x 4 1/4" / 406.4 x 108.0 mm) offers a generous sonic foundation without sacrificing precision.

Sound character: solid European spruce, solid rosewood, and sculpted bracing

The solid European spruce top provides a clear attack and excellent clarity: chords remain airy, and single notes retain definition even when played loudly. Combined with the hand-carved scalloped X bracing, the guitar gains responsiveness: the top "speaks" quickly with a more flexible dynamic range, useful for transitioning from light touch to stronger strumming.
The solid rosewood back and sides enhance bass depth, add a sense of width in the spectrum, and promote longer sustain. This results in a fuller low register, rich mids, and bright yet structured highs, helping the guitar remain present in an acoustic mix.
The sound port (1.5" / 38.1 mm) contributes to a more immediate sound perception for the player: it allows better hearing of attack details and the body's resonance, particularly enjoyable in solo playing. Finally, the combination of bone nut and bone saddle supports vibration transmission, with a crisp attack and stable intonation, while the ebony fingerboard adds precision and definition.

Recommended compatible accessories

To get the most out of a solid wood folk guitar, a chromatic tuner (clip-on or pedal) and an acoustic guitar humidifier are reliable and relevant choices. Depending on your playing style, also consider a selection of plectrums (from flexible to rigid): more flexible for gentle accompaniment, more rigid to gain attack and projection.
