Eastman PCH3-GACE-FB Faded Blue

The Eastman PCH3-GACE in Faded Blue: a grand auditorium with character, cutaway and a Fishman preamp

The Eastman PCH3-GACE-FB stands out. The Faded Blue finish gives this grand auditorium a look you don't often see in this price segment, and the combination of a solid Sitka spruce top with flamed maple back and sides also makes it acoustically interesting. The cutaway gives you access to the higher frets, which makes the guitar versatile for players who want to play both chords and melodies.

The sound is clear and balanced. The solid spruce top with X-brace responds well to different playing styles, while the flamed maple back and sides provide a bright, defined tone with beautiful overtones. The Fishman Presys+ preamp makes the guitar ready for immediate use on stage, with a built-in tuner and tone control for a naturally amplified sound.

The maple neck with a Modified Low Oval profile sits comfortably in the hand and is connected to the body via a set neck. The Ovangkol fretboard has 20 frets with dot inlays on a 25.4" scale length with a 16" radius, providing a flat, comfortable playing experience. The Ovangkol bridge and Pingwell tuners complete an instrument that offers a remarkable amount for its price.

An acoustic-electric guitar with its own identity, for the player who doesn't want to choose between appearance and functionality.
