I did own one of those for a time. BTW, I had a tone control added (mine only had volume) and it made a nice difference.

The quality of materials on that instrument was amazing! An absolute stellar guitar.

I have a 2008 AR905, non-cutaway, which I understand Eastman has discontinued. I know it is not a 910CE but the two guitars are very similar. I put a K&K contact pickup in it and play it for more the Freddie Green sound--high strings and non-electric vibe. It has plenty of acoustic power. I don't find it nasally at all. The fit and finish are perfect. It is light and I can feel the vibrations through the back against my body. My 2cents, but I don't think you can find a better archtop for for the money than the 910-905 archtops.
