The Eastman AR910CE LH – Left Handed – is pretty much the top of the Eastman line of archtop electrics, with solid wood throughout and carved top and back. It’s fairly unusual to see an available high quality left-handed archtop. The top and its bracing are solid Spruce, paired with nicely flamed and matched Flame Maple for the sides and back.
Archtop
Built in Montreal, the Paquet Esperanto 18 Archtop guitar is a full size model with hand carved top and back, large soundholes in the upper bouts and a Kent Armstrong pickup. This example was built during 2018 at Paquet’s shop in a suburb of Montreal. It is in very good condition, with one small finish chip to the back of the neck.
