New Eastman AC522CE Demo

Here's a look at the newly revised AC522CE acoustic guitar from Eastman. I got it last week to be a gigging workhorse and I like it very much. I'll play some for you unplugged and plugged in. And I'll tell you what I like and don't like about the guitar.
*The plugged in clips in this video are straight into my UAD Apollo interface.
*There is no EQ or reverb on anything in this video.

wow, you bring out such a wonderful full and balanced well-rounded sound. Beautiful guitar, both to the ears and to the eyes. Thanks for a great review.

Very informative as well as real talented.

[@weshunter3650]

Thanks so much! Now that I've had the guitar for a little while and broken it in some, I love it even more.

Was looking at picking one of these up. Enjoyed your playing, for a second I thought you were going to go straight into Eyes of the World!

[@weshunter3650]

Thanks! There was a little bit of Eyes in there. I play that one a lot. Also, I"m selling this guitar if you're interested. wilmington.craigslist.org/msg/d/wilmington-eastman-ac522ce/7530085116.html

Thank you

I dont know man... that guitar looks like it needs a lot of protecting to me. It's gorgeous. I have one and I love it! This is not a big gripe, but I wish Eastman would put a Strap Button on the neck. I got nervous when I drill a hole in such a pretty guitar to add that button.

Well done review - honest and informative. For someone who plays and sings this guitar seems to be a good choice. Love the wood combination. Thank you for this effort. I don't play much plugged in thankfully. Eastman - please upgrade and charge a few bucks more. You won't loose sales. A quacky piezo has no place in today's music.

Thanks!

Since I'm seriously considering getting an AC522CE, I'm sure glad I have an LR Baggs Voiceprint DI. It works wonders. If I get the AC522CE, I'll pull the Under Saddle Element out, install a new bone nut and get better tone and sustain right there. Then install a K&K and good to go. I have a K&K Trinity System in my J40 and the Voiceprint even improves that.

[@weshunter3650]

Yes sir, that's a good combo.

[@jcrey402]

Nice! Subbed

[@weshunter3650]

Thanks!

[@blufordbirdsong1834]

great demo. Thanks. I have an Eastman OM, was curious what K & K you went with in your OM? Thanks

[@danielkleiner9560]

Wes, does it have a fast and easily playable neck like a Taylor?

[@weshunter3650]

Yes, extremely easy to play and very fast

This camera doesn’t do this guitar justice

These companies have to learn that we would pick a no electronics version and buy a knk with the money saved.
