Handcrafted Precision, Superior Versatility
The Eastman AC522CE is a premium grand auditorium acoustic-electric guitar that offers a rich tonal palette and exceptional playability. Designed for discerning musicians, this model balances modern performance features with old-world craftsmanship, making it equally suited for fingerstyle playing, strumming, and live performance.
Premium All-Solid Tonewoods
The AC522CE features a solid European spruce top that delivers a broad dynamic range with crisp articulation and responsive projection. Paired with solid mahogany back and sides, the guitar produces a warm, midrange-focused tone with excellent clarity and depth. This tonewood combination is ideal for a variety of musical styles, from folk and blues to pop and acoustic rock.
Ergonomic Design and Playability
Crafted with a comfortable Grand Auditorium body shape and a soft cutaway, the AC522CE offers easy access to upper frets without sacrificing tonal integrity. The hand-carved scalloped X-bracing enhances the instrument’s resonance and projection. A traditional “C” shape mahogany neck and an ebony fingerboard provide a smooth, fast playing surface with premium feel.
Flawless Finish and Elegant Appointments
The guitar is finished with a lustrous gloss nitrocellulose that enhances the natural beauty of the tonewoods while allowing them to breathe and age gracefully. Ornate details like the maple binding, abalone rosette, and pearl inlays lend the AC522CE an upscale, handcrafted appearance that reflects its boutique quality.
Stage-Ready with LR Baggs Electronics
Equipped with the LR Baggs Element VTC pickup system, the AC522CE ensures superb amplified tone with intuitive volume and tone controls. This professional-grade system captures the natural resonance and subtle nuances of the guitar, making it perfect for both live performance and studio work.
