The Eastman AR 503 CE is a 16" has a hand-carved solid spruce top with laminated maple back and sides with a single venetian cutaway and a single Kent Armstrong HPAN-1N pickup in the neck position. It features an ebony fingerboard (with some slight cracking in the upper register), multi-ply ivoroid binding, bone nut and gold-plated tuners! Whew! This is the perfect guitar for everyone from the jazz student on a budget to the professional picker who wants a second instrument. 1-3/4" nut width; 25" scale length. This is a great guitar, especially for the money! It is versatile, easy to play, and sounds fantastic. This guitar is listed as "B-Stock" because of slight finish checking on either side of the heel. Purely cosmetic.
