Eastman John Pisano AR680CE Jazz Guitar

 
 
    World renown jazz guitarist John Pisano personally designed his signature model from top to bottom  with all of the features he ever wanted in a guitar.  John collaborated with noted pickup designer Kent Armstrong to design a humbucking pickup that covers the complete tonal spectrum and makes this guitar sound as good plugged in as it does acoustically. 

    The mahogany AR680CE is available in Eastman's Classic finish and features a true hand carved and graduated mahogany back with mahogany sides and carved spruce top.   As opposed to maple back and sides,  mahogany tends to smooth out the overall tonal response and seems to add a bit of thickness to the main note core.   The audio sample of this guitar was a mix between the Kent Armstrong pickup recorded direct,  and a microphone to pick up the acoustic sound.
