Condition: Used, Very Good The Solid Maple back and sides are what piece everything together here, with projection and articulate clarity not found in most guitars. The Ivoroid binding is an elegant addition to the blonde finish, looking classy as can be. This guitar would beautifully fit any Jazz ensemble or even be the perfect compliment to a blues guitarist. Exceptional build quality, fantastic sound, comfort and playability through the roof - is there any reason not to get an Eastman archtop?
