This second-hand Eastman AR405E is in very good overall condition, with some small scratches and cosmetic marks from previous use, as shown in the photographs. The cosmetic marks do not affect the guitar's playability or functionality. Please note that the guitar has a high-gloss finish, so reflections of the surrounding environment may be visible in the photographs. This guitar comes with a hard case. 

The Eastman AR405E is a beautifully crafted hollow-body archtop electric guitar that combines traditional jazz-inspired design with Eastman's reputation for careful construction and quality materials. Dating from 2016 and finished in an attractive Honey Amber, the AR405E has a timeless appearance that makes it equally appealing to players looking for a dedicated jazz instrument or a distinctive hollow-body for blues, rock and other styles.

The guitar features a 16" hollow maple body with a traditional archtop design, complete with elegant f-holes and body binding. The hollow construction allows the instrument to produce a naturally warm and resonant acoustic voice, while also contributing to its character when amplified. The Honey Amber finish highlights the contours and traditional styling of the instrument, giving it a classic and understated appearance.

A set maple neck is paired with a rosewood fingerboard, providing a comfortable playing surface and a smooth response across the full range of the instrument. The 25" scale length offers a slightly shorter feel than many conventional electric guitars, while the 1 3/4" nut width provides plenty of room across the fingerboard. This combination makes the AR405E particularly comfortable for chord work, melodic playing and traditional jazz techniques.

The AR405E is equipped with a single dog-ear P-90 pickup positioned at the neck. This pickup delivers a full, warm and articulate sound, with plenty of character and dynamic response. The P-90 is particularly well suited to the rounded, smooth tones associated with jazz, but can also produce a more powerful and gritty character when pushed, making the guitar capable of covering blues, rockabilly, classic rock and a variety of vintage-inspired sounds.

The straightforward control layout features individual volume and tone controls, allowing the player to easily shape the sound of the P-90. The neck pickup's natural warmth can be enhanced for smooth, mellow jazz tones, while opening up the tone control provides additional clarity and attack for blues and more contemporary applications.

Visually, the AR405E retains many of the hallmarks of traditional archtop design, including its hollow body, f-holes, bound construction and classic pickup configuration. The result is an instrument with plenty of vintage-inspired character without sacrificing the practicality and playability expected from a modern electric guitar.

Supplied with a hard case, this 2016 Eastman AR405E makes an excellent choice for players seeking a distinctive hollow-body electric guitar with a strong traditional influence. Its combination of a resonant maple body, rosewood fingerboard and P-90 pickup gives it a versatile voice, while the classic archtop design makes it a particularly striking addition to any collection.
