Eastman AR372CE Archtop, Sunburst For Sale

Serial Number: L2400707 Weight: 6lb

The Eastman AR372CE captures the unmistakable spirit of a golden-era archtop with refined craftsmanship, timeless styling, and expressive tonal character. Inspired by pinnacle 1950s archtop design, this fully hollow maple-bodied instrument delivers the depth, warmth, and clarity that players expect from a true jazz box - with the versatility to step confidently into blues and rock territory.

Built with an all-maple laminate body and maple veneer top, the AR372CE produces a lively, articulate voice with a naturally resonant low end and sparkling note definition. Its fully hollow construction adds a rich, woody depth that complements the brighter tonal character of maple, creating a balanced response that feels dynamic and alive under your hands.

The 3-piece maple neck is carved into Eastman’s Traditional Even “C” profile, offering a comfortable and confident grip for both seasoned players and advancing musicians. Paired with a smooth 20-fret ebony fingerboard and elegant Florentine cutaway, upper fret access is effortless and fluid.

At the heart of its versatility is a pair of Kent Armstrong humbuckers. These dual-coil pickups deliver warm, rounded jazz tones at the neck, articulate bite and power at the bridge, and a beautifully balanced blend when combined. Independent Volume and Tone controls for each pickup, along with a 3-way selector, make dialing in your ideal sound simple whether on stage or in the studio.

Classic hardware appointments complete the vintage-inspired design. A floating ebony bridge and chrome-plated trapeze tailpiece enhance sustain and resonance, while a real bone nut and Pingwell tuning machines ensure stable tuning and dependable intonation. Ivoroid binding across the body, fingerboard, and f-holes, paired with split parallelogram inlays and amber top hat knobs, give the AR372CE its unmistakable old-school elegance.
