2020s Eastman AC222CE Cutaway 000-Size Guitar

This Taylor-like Eastman is a nice-quality, quick-playing, good-looking guitar. It's a newer instrument but it had dried out a bit in Vermont winter and the original bridge had split along the pinholes and saddle slot.  Ancel made a new bridge for it, installed it, leveled and dressed the frets, and set it up.


It has a satin finish and a cool, yellow-red sunburst finish that reminds me of old 1920s Gibson products. It's spruce over mahogany and the back and sides have an interesting, curly effect to them that's highlighted really well by the sunburst.


While I'm not a huge fan of the undersaddle pickup (they're finicky to keep dialed-in nicely), it's nice that it came with one for its owner.
