Overview

The EASTMAN AC422CE is a versatile electro-acoustic steel-string acoustic guitar that stands out for its all-solid-wood construction, ensuring exceptional sound quality. Its design features a spruce top, a rosewood back and sides, as well as a maple neck and an ebony fingerboard. The LR Baggs Element VTC preamp offers easy volume and tone control, integrated into the soundhole, while the glossy nitrocellulose finish adds a touch of elegance.

A combination of materials for unmatched sound

The combination of spruce for the top and rosewood for the back and sides produces rich, warm tones. Here are some of its sonic characteristics:

• Rich, well-defined bass


• Balanced mids


• Brilliant highs

This blend of materials delivers remarkable natural acoustic volume for a guitar of this medium size. The ebony fingerboard helps focus the sound, providing enhanced dynamics and clarity.

Advanced electro-acoustic features for optimal performance

The Baggs Element VTC system, consisting of a under-nut piezo pickup and a Class A active preamp built into the jack, is ideal for live performances. This system also includes two knobs for adjusting volume and tone.

The tones produced—whether from strumming or picking—are balanced, clear, and dynamic. The system faithfully reproduces the vibrations of the soundboard and bridge, with a dynamic response that avoids stiff or artificial tones. Additionally, it is powered by a 9V LR61 battery with an impressive battery life of approximately 1,000 hours.

The EASTMAN AC422CE comes with an Eastman hardshell case, ensuring protection and easy transport.
