Laden with old-school luster, the AR503CE exhibits charming and historically accurate detailing across the board as well, from its full binding and large F-holes to its narrow ebony pickguard/tailpiece combo and distinguished “Eastman” script logo at the headstock.An archtop through and through Fully hollow by design, the AR503CE boasts a single-cutaway body that’s exceptionally resonant with the articulate vividity to enable crystalline natural expressiveness. A 16-inch top of carved Sitka spruce pronounces every note and chord with balance in projection, while the rest of its maple body ensures a detailed resonance that leaves no note unheard. Its bright and vivid note response is further accentuated courtesy of a dovetail 3-piece maple neck, boasting a profile cut to a Traditional Even “C” shape that helps fall comfortably into the palms of all players. Topping the neck is a 20-fret unmarked ebony fingerboard, enhancing sustain and offering sprawling space for musical runs through any octave.Two coils do the trick When electric archtops first surfaced, many guitars housed just one pickup in what would ultimately became known as the rhythm position, or neck position — and that’s just the vibe Eastman achieved with the AR503CE! A solitary Seth Lover humbucker is positioned right beneath the neck, a dual-coil beauty designed by Seymour Duncan to feature an alnico II bar magnet, vintage output coils, and an unpotted nickel cover. The sonic results facilitate heaps of smooth tone, linking warm richness to perfectly fulfill its neck position duties with an inspiring degree of articulation and top-end harmonic response. Dial in the best of both tonal realms via the onboard Tone control, and level the master Volume knob for more or less definition and grit. Bygone charm in the details Impeccable sonic detail aside, a 6-string like the AR503CE also nails the classy visual aesthetics of a tried-and-true archtop. The AR503CE sees full ivoroid binding throughout the guitar’s body and neck, even accentuating the larger traditional F-holes. A narrow ebony pickguard and matching tailpiece are pure class, tributing a truly bygone design and coming accompanied by a sustain-favoring ebony bridge. Handsome amber bell knobs join in the historic-themed revelry while sharp-looking sealed chrome Pingwell RM-1271 tuning machines at the headstock keep your intonation in check. Topped off with Eastman’s classic script logo, the AR503CE embodies everything it means to look and play like a classic archtop should.Eastman Music Company President Qian NiEastman Guitars: thinking inside the box Many know the Eastman Music Company as a trusted name in the realm of band and orchestra instruments.
