{"product_id":"eastman-pch3-gace-faded-blue-431911","title":"PCH3-GACE Faded Blue","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA PCH3-GACE Designed for Versatility Within Its Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PCH3-GACE Faded Blue takes a decidedly versatile approach: offering a guitar with a distinctive look, immediately comfortable in hand, and sufficiently equipped to cover current needs (acoustic playing at home, recording, amplification). Its Grand Auditorium format and cutaway make it a particularly practical option for guitarists who alternate between accompaniment and more melodic parts, while seeking a refined aesthetic (abalone rosette, glossy finishes, maple logo on the headstock).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor Whom and Which Styles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its 25.4\" \/ 645 mm scale length and \"Traditional Even C\" neck profile, this guitar appeals to a wide audience: \u003cstrong\u003eserious beginners\u003c\/strong\u003e looking for a motivating and reliable instrument, \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate players\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking a balanced electro-acoustic, and \u003cstrong\u003eadvanced guitarists\u003c\/strong\u003e wanting an effective daily workhorse. The Grand Auditorium format promotes great versatility: \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efolk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003evariety\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efingerstyle\u003c\/strong\u003e, and dynamic \u003cstrong\u003estrumming\u003c\/strong\u003e. The cutaway adds real value if you play melodies, solos, or extended chords beyond the 12th fret.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Balanced Tone, Between Clarity and Projection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tonal foundation rests on a \u003cstrong\u003esolid Sitka spruce top\u003c\/strong\u003e, renowned for its quick response and ability to stay defined when attacked strongly with a pick. Combined with the \u003cstrong\u003eX-bracing\u003c\/strong\u003e, it favors projection and clarity while maintaining a good balance between bass, mids, and treble. The \u003cstrong\u003elaminated maple back and sides\u003c\/strong\u003e provide a more \"clean\" and focused signature, with precise attack and beautiful articulation, appreciated for clear rhythms and arpeggios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn terms of playability, the \u003cstrong\u003ebone nut\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003ebridge\/nut combination (ovangkol\/bone)\u003c\/strong\u003e contribute to more efficient vibration transmission: resulting in a livelier feel, better-defined attack, and consistent sustain across the neck. With its \u003cstrong\u003e22 frets\u003c\/strong\u003e and recommended action setup (at the 12th fret: \u003cstrong\u003e2.4 mm \/ 3\/32\" bass side\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e1.6 mm \/ 2\/32\" treble side\u003c\/strong\u003e), the PCH3-GACE aims for a comfortable compromise between ease of play and dynamic range, useful when switching from delicate fingerpicking to energetic strumming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlugged in, the \u003cstrong\u003eEastman Pickup by Fishman\u003c\/strong\u003e electronics maintain a good level of definition for stage or recording use. The idea is simple: to retain the natural balance of the Grand Auditorium format with a signal that is quickly usable, whether through an acoustic amp, PA system, or audio interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe guitar comes with a \u003cstrong\u003epadded Eastman gig bag\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for transport. If you want to stay close to the original setup, opt for \u003cstrong\u003e12-53 acoustic strings\u003c\/strong\u003e (factory-installed gauge is \u003cstrong\u003eD'Addario .012-.053\u003c\/strong\u003e). To secure tuning and preserve the instrument, a \u003cstrong\u003echromatic tuner\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003euniversal acoustic guitar humidifier\u003c\/strong\u003e are also relevant choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr)
