Locally selected product from the Eastman factory!! This is a masterpiece that Mr. Akita, the person in charge of Hartman Guitars, selected from the vast stock at the Eastman factory in China in November. We carefully select each guitar, from the wood grain on the top and back to the subtle differences in sound. This is definitely a recommended product in both looks and sound! Don't miss out! -------------------------------- EASTMAN continues to produce high quality models at reasonable prices. The skills cultivated over many years of making violins, cellos, and double basses are also used in guitar making. Furthermore, in recent years we have acquired the legendary acoustic brand "Beaujois Guitars," and while fully absorbing its essence, we are further improving our processing precision. The AC422CE is a part of the AC series, which features a grand auditorium body that is popular with fingerstyle guitarists due to its excellent sound balance and playability. It features a classic combination of a Sitka spruce top, rosewood back and sides, a mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard. Despite being priced at under ¥200,000, it boasts a full-gloss finish on an all-solid body for a truly authentic look. It features the excellent balance that is unique to the Grand Auditorium, as well as the deep low range and brilliant overtones that are unique to spruce and rosewood. It responds well to even a light touch, but also responds well to a firmer touch, providing a rich dynamic range that makes it the perfect guitar for fingerstyle playing, where delicate nuances can be expressed. The pickup system is equipped with the "LRBaggs Element EAS VTC", so it can be used immediately on stage. Eastman has taken its level of excellence to the next level by partnering with Beaujois! It is of such excellent quality that you will realize "this is great" the moment you play the first note. Although it is a "high cost performance" guitar, it has the ability to make you feel that it is a "genuinely good guitar" regardless of the price.
