In \u003cstrong\u003eExcellent Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e, this guitar shows a little play wear on the pick guard, and some capo wear on the back of the headstock.  Built as part of Eastman’s highly acclaimed acoustic series, this premium cutaway model is wrapped in an exquisite, deep Goldburst nitrocellulose lacquer finish that highlights its sleek contours. Designed to fulfill the demanding requirements of both serious studio players and elite performing artists, this instrument serves as an absolute Swiss Army knife that balances top-tier ergonomics with an assertive, upscale visual aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe tonal engine of this Grand Auditorium relies on an inspired wood pairing, matching a solid European spruce top with premium solid mahogany back and sides. European spruce provides a uniquely sophisticated acoustic profile, yielding a higher velocity of sound and a sweet, harmonic complexity that offers a wider tonal palette than standard Sitka spruce. This pairs flawlessly with the dry, transparent woody warmth of the mahogany chassis, generating a perfectly balanced audio profile with an immediate fundamental response, clean midrange separation, and a pristine high-end shimmer that never gets brittle or harsh under a heavy pick attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThe solid mahogany neck features a traditional even \"C\" profile paired with a unique 12\" fingerboard radius, offering an exceptionally flat, fluid playing surface across the ebony fingerboard that reduces fret-hand resistance during complex leads. Luxurious cosmetic details elevate this model far beyond standard production instruments, showcased by the intricate hurricane pearl and abalone position markers, a side soundport, and a striking wooden rosette accented with vibrant turquoise and magenta purfling. Completed by a factory-installed LR Baggs Element EAS VTC pickup system and premium gold Gotoh machines, this AC522CE-GB stands fully vetted and dialed in for master-class performance.\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eNeck Material: Mahogany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eFingerboard: Ebony\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eNeck Profile: Traditional Even \"C\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eNut: Bone 1 3\/4\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eFretwire: 20 Jescar-FW43080\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eScale Length: 25.4\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBody Dimensions: 16\" x 4 1\/4\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eSound Port: 1.5\" Sound Port\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBracings: Hand-Carved Scalloped X\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBody Top: Solid European Spruce\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBody Back\/Sides: Solid Mahogany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eArm Contour: Mahogany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBridge\/Saddle: Ebony\/Bone, 2 5\/32\" Spacing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eRosette: Wooden Rosette with Turquoise\/Magenta Purfling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eTruss Rod: Dual Acting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBinding: Top, Back, and Fingerboard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBinding Material: Mahogany with Turquoise\/Magenta Purfling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eLogo: Pearl Headstock\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eInlay: Hurricane Pearl\/Abalone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eSide Dot Color: White\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBridge Pins: Ebony\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBody Top Finish: Gloss Finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBack\/Sides Finish: Gloss Finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eHardware Color: Gold\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003ePickguard: Tortoise Shell\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eTuners: Gotoh SG301-20GG\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eElectronics: LR Baggs Element EAS VTC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eStrings: D'Addario XT Phosphor Bronze .012 -.053\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eAction Height: 12th fret 3\/32\" on the bass side and 2\/32\" on the treble side\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eCase: Hardshell Case\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eTruss Rod Wrench: 4mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a Dread-Not Certified Used Instrument?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUp to 90% trade-in value toward a future instrument, a professional inspection by our repair team, and a stage-ready setup you can trust are all part of what makes a Dread-Not Certified Used instrument different from typical used gear.
