This cool Eastman 405E just came in the door! Similar in construction to the Eastman 403CE, the 405 is a non-cutaway archtop with a 16 inch body and a P-90 pickup.
Eastman Strings is one of the largest producers of archtop instruments in the world, including violins, cellos and other related instruments. Archtop guitars are a natural fit for them.
Te Eastman 405E features a comfortable 16-inch non-cutaway body built with maple laminates, and binding around the top, back and F-holes. The neck is mahogany with a 25 inch scale bound rosewood fingerboard and 1.75 inch nut width. The P-90 pickup has a creme cover and a clear riser, and a single volume and tone control on the top. The finish is an antique burst.
This is a very nice guitar, and reminiscent of the early electic archtops played in the 1930s to 1950s by many jazz, blues and early rock artists.

I came to Twelfth Fret with an all original 1967 Gretsch Chet Atkins Tennessean which I had purchased online. The guitar was barely playable, would not tune and was just a very expensive disappointment. After a consultation with Scott, he came up with a plan to see if this guitar could be brought back to life. After great communication, Scott put his skillful hand to work and gave me back one of the greatest guitars I have ever played!
