With such an assortment of capable guitar manufacturers worldwide, Sweetwater is always pleased to partner with companies like Eastman Guitars that are a cut above when it comes to artistry and craftsmanship. The Eastman AC122-2CE Deluxe Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar exemplifies the company's fastidious player-friendly approach, boasting an all-solid wood construction — a rare commodity at this price — devised for robust projection. Up top, cedar lends soft overtones to each note, while the back and sides are crafted from sapele for a pervasively rich, warm tone. Other notables, like a dovetail neck joint, ebony fingerboard, and bone nut, contribute to an incredibly satisfying acoustic playing experience. Lastly, the inclusion of Fishman Presys VT electronics ensures you're ready to plug in for rehearsal, gigs, or studio time!
Whether you opt for a fingerstyle approach or intricate chordal work, it’s easy to find your footing on the AC122-2CE’s fretboard. The grand auditorium body ensures proper projection from its cedar top and sapele body. The dovetail neck joint further aids with vibrational transfer from the strings to the mahogany neck to the body. Not to mention, this mahogany neck sports a Traditional Even “C” shape for undeniable comfort whenever the guitar is in your hands, while the cutaway ensures optimum access to all of the Jescar frets. Plus, hand-scalloped X-bracing bolsters the resonance of this guitar, keeping the cedar top strong and balanced throughout its life.
Ready for the studio or the stage? The Eastman AC122-2CE is right there with you, courtesy of its Fishman Presys VT electronics system. Here, you'll have convenient access to volume and tone controls that are mounted just beneath the soundhole. The bridge-mounted Fishman pickup translates the voice of the AC122-2CE into natural-sounding sonics with a dynamic edge. From coffeehouse chording to stage strumming, this acoustic-electric guitar is well equipped for any musical occasion!
