Eastman Guitar Build Overview
The Eastman AC822CE is a high-end Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric built for players who demand both refined tone and modern performance. Featuring a solid Engelmann spruce top paired with solid rosewood back and sides, this guitar delivers a rich, articulate voice with shimmering highs, complex overtones, and a balanced low end that responds beautifully to both fingerstyle and strumming.
Designed with the modern player in mind, the AC822CE includes a comfort arm contour and a built-in sound port, directing sound upward toward the player for an immersive, monitor-like experience. The cutaway body provides effortless access to higher frets, making this an ideal instrument for stage, studio, and advanced performance work.
Visually, this model stands out with flamed maple binding, an abalone rosette with vibrant purfling, and elegant pearl inlays—offering boutique-level craftsmanship at every angle. Paired with the LR Baggs Anthem pickup system, the AC822CE is ready to deliver natural, dynamic amplified tone wherever you play.
Why the AC822CE Stands Out
The Grand Auditorium body shape offers one of the most versatile tonal platforms available—combining the clarity of smaller bodies with the power and projection of larger designs.
- Balanced response across all strings for versatile playing styles
- Engelmann spruce enhances sensitivity and dynamic range
- Rosewood adds depth, sustain, and harmonic richness
- Sound port enhances player awareness without sacrificing projection
- Comfort arm contour improves long-session playability
