Eastman AC308CE-LTD Cutaway Sitka Spruce/Mahogany
The AC308CE is a handsome, well-made performer, featuring slot-head design and cutaway body. It is not a powerful guitar—the tone is very mid-focused, so it might not be the ideal instrument for the player looking for a big, beefy sound. But it can be perfect for intimate settings or playing with a band (it won't compete with the bass in the mix and your sound engineer won't constantly be cutting low end).
Cosmetically and structurally, the AC308CE has all the right features—Sitka spruce top, mahogany back/sides and ebony fingerboard. And an LR Baggs Element pickup means you don't have to worry about volume in any venue. A hardshell case is included.
