The Eastman AR805CE is a 16-inch Venetian-cutaway archtop with a solid spruce top, solid hand-carved maple back and sides, and a single Lollar Custom Wound Imperial humbucker at the neck. It keeps the traditional 25-inch scale and fully carved construction associated with Eastman’s higher-end jazz guitars.

Where the AR805CE fits
The AR805CE sits above the AR605CED as a more traditional single-pickup jazz archtop. Both are 16 inches wide and 3 1/4 inches deep, but the AR805CE swaps the AR605CED’s solid mahogany back and sides for solid hand-carved maple and replaces the twin Seth Lover humbuckers with a single Lollar neck pickup.
