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.

On November 29, 2023 /

The Martin HD-28V offered many vintage spec features as part of the Vintage Series produced from 1998 to late 2018. Based on the classic D-28, the ‘H’ refers to the Herringbone purfling used around the top, as was standard on Martins into the early years of WW2. At the start of that War, Martin realized that their herringbone purfling supplier was in Germany, and resupply would be impossible.
