Eastman AC822CE Grand Auditorium Guitar w/LR Baggs Pickup #1195

The Eastman AC822CE pairs a solid Engelmann spruce top with solid rosewood back and sides in a full-size Grand Auditorium body, built for players who want projection and low-end depth without sacrificing note clarity. Engelmann spruce is softer and more responsive than Sitka, opening up quickly with a sweeter top end, while the rosewood underneath supplies deep, ringing overtones and a scooped midrange that separates well under a mix. It's a stage-ready acoustic-electric built for the player who needs to carry a full band or a solo set on its own.

Strum it hard and the Grand Auditorium body pushes air without turning muddy; fingerpick it and the rosewood back keeps sustain long after the note is struck, making the AC822CE equally at home in bluegrass rhythm work and quieter singer-songwriter picking. The mahogany neck carries a Traditional Even "C" profile with a 12-inch fingerboard radius, so barre chords up the neck feel just as natural as open position work, and the dual-acting truss rod keeps setup dialed in as the seasons change.

Abalone rosette work with turquoise and magenta purfling, pearl vine inlay, and flamed maple binding dress up the AC822CE without crowding the top, and gold Gotoh tuners keep it in tune through long sets. An onboard LR Baggs Anthem system blends an under-saddle pickup with an internal microphone, so plugging in preserves the acoustic character instead of flattening it out — a strong choice for the working musician who splits time between the stage and the living room.
