If you’ve been itching for a proper hollowbody with some old-school attitude, this Eastman AR372CE-P90 is one of those guitars that just nails the vibe.
Big body, all maple construction—this thing is lively, open, and super responsive. It’s got that airy, woody character you expect from a true hollowbody, but with enough focus to keep things clear whether you’re comping jazz chords or digging into something a little rowdier.
The real personality comes from the P-90s.Neck pickup is warm and rounded, perfect for smooth lines and mellow stuff, while the bridge has that gritty, slightly raw bite that cuts through when you need it. Flip to the middle and you get a nice balance of both—full, articulate, and super usable.
Neck feels great too—Eastman’s Traditional Even C carve is comfortable right away, not too chunky, not too slim. Paired with the ebony board, it’s smooth and easy to move around on.
And visually, it’s all there. Florentine cutaway, trapeze tailpiece, split block inlays—it’s got that mid-century archtop look without feeling overdone.
If you want a hollowbody that leans vintage but still feels practical and player-friendly, this is a really solid pick.
