EASTMAN AC722CE

Does the world need another grand auditorium-sized cutaway electroacoustic? Eastman certainly thinks so. But while its new AC722CE model may look fairly familiar from the nut down, it offers some interesting features that differ from the norm.

Firstly, we have a European spruce soundboard with hand-carved scalloped X-bracing, which promises an immediate response with a smoother transient than may be expected from Sitka or Adirondack.
