My go-to favorite

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

A remarkable guitar. I already own two other Eastmans, a hollow body, and an electric, both of which are absolute keepers. Still, somehow I didn't dare hope this guitar would be so terrific. A beautiful guitar, perfect neck, excellent workmanship, and simply outstanding in the most important areas of playing and sound. I had a Collings that cost three times as much as this guitar, that I sold it because the sound was crystal clear but somewhat sterile. This guitar has the clarity of the Collings, better playability, as good/better build quality, and far more beautiful tone. I'm a big Gibson fan, I love the tone of their guitars and that Gibson history/mystique/special sauce, but this Eastman is my daily go-to guitar. I could not be happier. Oh, and it sounds equally wonderful unplugged or jacked into my Fishman acoustic amp.

Be careful from who you buy from.

This is a very nice guitar, but, I purchased it from Johnson string instrument. They did this write up about how their guitars are set up before shipment. This was not the case. And I bought right into it. The guitar had old strings, but the biggest problem I had was the action was so high, you could play the guitar like a harp. Costed me 120 dollars to get the guitar set up. So, beware. After I had the guitar worked on, it sounds and plays nice.

Damaged in shipping

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

The product was returned because there was a buzz on the upper frets and the electronic piece was fapping inside. My guess is the shipping may have damaged it.

Pro quality for recreational player dollars

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

I am a professional guitarist/performer/teacher. I've owned dozens of Martins, Taylors, Gibsons and even a few boutique instruments. This Eastman holds its own with almost any of them for a fraction of the price. I did upgrade the built in electronics to a K&K Pure Mini (my favorite) and relaced the tuners with Gotoh 510's, also added bone pins. The sound both acoustically and via the pick up is balanced, clear and resonant. The fit and finish is absolutely superb and the slightly radiused neck with slightly rolled edge plays like butter. I've played a few other Eastmans too and I firmly believe they are making the BEST of the Pac Rim imports. This is my go-to guitar for gigging in spite of having a Martin and a Taylor costing 4 - 8 times as much. Highly, highly recommended!!!!!!!

The AC422CE is a fantastic guitar. Made from quality components, all hand crafted this guitar will floor you. From it's robust, rich tone to it's excellent action and beautiful looks it stands right up next to guitars costing 3 times the price. If you're looking for a great guitar but don't want to spend a small fortune this is the guitar for you. The hard shell case that is included is beautiful too.

Straight out of the box AMAZING

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2015

Verified Purchase

Have played acoustic gigs for years... Having numerous acoustics from ovation, takamine, Taylor's and martins. I could not have mad a better choice with my new Eastman 422ce with the Shertler Lydia pickup system. Straight out of the box from ups to the gig yesterday. Brought my Martin just in case, didn't need it. The sound was incredible both for picking and strumming. Every string can be heard clearly every note up the scale rings true. I play straight thru a Yamaha board to a Lucas Nano 300 and this guitar will keep my Martin in the case for a while. Love everything about it. Recommend to anyone looking for a quality hand made acoustic that will not break your bank account!! Very happy.

This is my third Eastman. They are a great value you don't get this kind of tone and workmanship in a guitar till you spend twice the amount. Hope they get into some tees or hats so I can get their name out there.
