2010s Eastman AJ817 Jumbo Guitar
Overview: So -- it's big, it's got a carved flamed maple back like an archtop, ebony board and bridge, and light bracing. It sounds warm, wide, and open and has good clarity throughout its range. It's definitely a "band-leading" chord-chugger if you want it to be but it can do the delicate stuff as well. I don't know quite where to place it in the "tone chart" but I suppose it's somewhere in the J-200/Guild F50 territory but with easier handling compared to both.
Repairs included: Previously, we reglued the bridge and leveled and dressed the frets and set this up (as I recall). I just needed to tweak the truss rod adjustment when it returned. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

It comes with: It has its original, molded hard case with a ton of local stickers on it.
