Une belle guitare EASTMAN AR503CE Archtop - classic à l'essai 30 jours, un manche vraiment formidable, mais un son que je n'ai pas su/pu vraiment maîtriser... Très étouffé, trop à mon goût. Quoi que l'on fasse tout est dans le médium et les aigus ne sont vraiment pas à la hauteur... Ce n'est qu'un point de vue personnel, probablement d'autres musiciens n'auront pas ce sentiment. Devrais-je changer le micro, ce qui du coup changerait également le prix de la guitare de façon substantielle et sans certitude. Essayé sur un ampli Katana 100 MKII que je vais par contre garder, je suis très déçu du son alors que l'esthétique, la finition sans faille et le manche sont tops !
