Eastman Guitar Build Overview
The Eastman AC722CE Dakota Fade Grand Auditorium Cutaway #M2531088 is a premium acoustic-electric guitar built for players seeking warmth, depth, and modern performance. Featuring a solid European spruce top paired with solid rosewood back and sides, this guitar delivers a rich, harmonically complex voice with strong low-end presence, clear trebles, and blooming overtones.
The Grand Auditorium body with cutaway offers exceptional versatility across playing styles, while the addition of a sound port and arm contour enhances comfort and player awareness. Whether fingerpicking or strumming, the AC722CE responds with balance, projection, and dynamic sensitivity.
Finished in a striking Dakota Fade gloss top, this model blends modern performance with a bold, boutique aesthetic. Details such as rosewood binding with turquoise and magenta purfling, abalone rosette, and hurricane pearl/abalone inlays elevate its visual presence. Paired with the LR Baggs Element EAS VTC pickup system, the AC722CE delivers natural, dynamic amplified tone with excellent clarity and control.
Why the AC722CE Stands Out
The combination of European spruce and rosewood creates a tonal profile that emphasizes warmth, depth, and harmonic richness—ideal for players who want a full, expressive acoustic voice.
