The Eastman AR603CED-15 is a compact 15-inch Venetian-cutaway archtop with a solid spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and two Seymour Duncan Seth Lover humbuckers. It keeps the traditional 25-inch scale but trims the body down to 15 x 2 3/4 inches, making it one of the more compact fully hollow Eastman archtops.

Where the AR603CED-15 fits
The AR603CED-15 sits above the AR503CE in both construction and hardware. Both use solid spruce tops and 25-inch scales, but the AR603CED-15 moves to solid mahogany back and sides, a mahogany neck, twin Seth Lover humbuckers and a smaller 15-inch body. That makes it a useful choice for players who want a carved-wood archtop feel without the bulk of a traditional 16- or 17-inch jazz box.
