I’ve had a jones for an 803ce for a while. They’re amazing, and the single-pickup (neck position) models have an old L-5 vibe.

I have been watching out for an AR372. I used to own a Godin 5th Avenue but the neck was a tad narrow for me so I sold it. Time will tell if the AR372 comes my way.

Acoustic archtop. No cutaway
I don't believe Eastman still produces an all acoustic archtop with no cutaway. In my search for one, I'm seeing a lot of old youtubes with just what I'm looking for. The blonde in the background for example;

They still make the AR610 as a regular-production item - Soundpure gets them on a semi-regular basis - and TMK any authorized Eastman dealer can order an AR810/910 without electronics or cutaway...

You're right! Quick check of the Eastman website shows both the 805 and 610 are in production.

Recently I played a new Eastman 910CE (17 inch), their flagship model, I believe.
It was VERY responsive and had great sound acoustic and amplified. The $3k price tag made it, for now, a purchase down the road when I'm ready for it. Check out the DjangoBooks website which has demos on most all of their Eastman guitars, among other French stuff. On YouTube, too. For now, my recently bought (used) Godin 5th Avenue Jazz model is more than good enough for me to learn jazz stylings. |
