Eastman Guitar Build Overview
The Eastman AC622CE Grand Auditorium Cutaway #M2519380 is a premium acoustic-electric guitar designed for players seeking clarity, articulation, and modern performance. Featuring a solid European spruce top paired with solid flamed maple back and sides, this guitar delivers a focused, highly responsive voice with crisp note separation, fast attack, and shimmering high-end detail.
The Grand Auditorium body with cutaway offers exceptional versatility across playing styles, while the addition of a sound port and arm contour enhances both player comfort and real-time tonal awareness. This design makes the AC622CE equally suited for stage performance, recording environments, and expressive fingerstyle work.
Visually, this model stands out with figured maple binding, abalone appointments, and striking flamed maple back and sides—delivering a refined, boutique aesthetic. Paired with the LR Baggs Element EAS VTC pickup system, the AC622CE produces a clean, natural amplified tone with excellent clarity and control.
Why the AC622CE Stands Out
The combination of European spruce and flamed maple creates a tonal profile that emphasizes clarity, projection, and definition—making this an ideal choice for players who want every note to be heard with precision.
- European spruce top provides quick response and dynamic sensitivity
