- In this video, I review an awesome guitar that I am selling that is very reasonably priced, especially because of its high-quality construction. This is an Eastman AR610CE, which features a 17-inch body and a Kent Armstrong floating pickup. Those two features make it a premier jazz box for under $2,000. They are pretty hard to find these days, and you can't get one brand new. Let me know how you like it! Leave me a comment, and thanks for watching!
If you're interested in buying this AR610CE, email me at - Rich@GuitarCollege.com

I now have three Eastman instruments. Waited over a year for an SB59, have a 505 mandolin and now this incredible guitar. I have been trying to find an L5 or a 175 for several years that I could somehow afford. Our luthier is an Eastman dealer and a purveyor of fine instruments. When the company sent him this guitar new for his shop, he showed it to me wondering whether this thing would scratch that Gibson itch. Yes, yes it did! And in a big way. Like my other Eastman instruments, this thing plays better off the rack than most guitars do after custom setups. And it has the voice of an opera tenor. Clear, powerful, subtle, resonant, sustaining, rich, inspiring, pick your favorite accolade, this thing checks all the boxes. This now sits on a stand in my home and gets played every single day. Money notwithstanding, this is one of the most beautiful instruments I have ever had the pleasure of playing.
I have that same guitar....got it used. wanted an arch top which wasn't crazy expensive but I could play acoustically or amplified. I did have a local luthier do a proper fret leveling and set up. one of the best playing guitars I have ever played. the electronics went bad. so I ended up replacing the pickguard with a Benedetto pick guard, placed a hand made Kent Armstrong humbucker which I got from him directly, placed a single volume on the pick guard (no more tone control)...has become an amazing instrument. in addition, I play the TI flats 13's. I tried round wound strings but the flats give the guitar a nice clear vintage tone vibe.....love it.....
That AR610CE is absolutely gorgeous! I want one!
Yeah, what a fine guitar! I scored one in perfect condition some years ago and enjoy it since.
I removed all electrical stuff and the pickguard and play it only acoustically. It has power like a flattop and a great sound. The perfect old style archtop jazz guitar.
That Eastman is the best sounding guitar I've ever heard you play! Great! Thank you!
Amazing sound both acoustically and with an amplifier.
Sounding great, as always, Rich!
That's called "trigger finger" when the finger tendon gets caught up in the it's sheath. I was told by my doc that he can inject steroid into the finger and that often "fixes" it. I had to mechanically "unlock" my trigger finger with my other hand when it happened. As a guitar performer, in my 70's, it was a very difficult problem to contend with. In the end, after about a year, it went away, thank God!
Beautiful instrument and playing; thank you for the treat!
Eastman guitars are so good. I have an sb59 V, a Romeo la and a sb55 V. I'm strictly a blues guy so don't really play those big Jazz guitarist but that one sounds amazing. If anybody is on the fence about getting an Eastman I'm telling you they are phenomenal. I have some really nice Gibson's but the Eastman's heart chest better.
Thank you James
Sounds great! Which is a good thing, because one of these is coming my way tonight. It’s slightly different, has ebony fingerboard & pickguard & tailpiece, but those appointments aside it’s essentially the same. So I’m looking forward to it even more after seeing/hearing this video 😊
Ah the old finger spasm. Eastman are superb guitars.
What a beautiful guitar, but the real story here is the playing! Wow
I wish Eastman would bring back the T145 SMD.....thin body archtop kinda like a Gibson Country Gentleman. Great guitar for Chet stylists.
Oh, beautiful guitar! Sounds fine. (I have one.)
what did you do to get it bass he did a filter on the EQ somehow you turn off all the treble
Just wondering if there's a regular schedule for the live RUclips broadcasts?
Thursdays at 11:00 am PDT
Stig Svanberg: What strings on that Eastman?
Always Rich’s special gauge set 😉
Hi, Stig! Here are the strings I use: www.guitarcollege.net/strings.html
is the instrument for sale?
Hope it's not "focal dystonia" in the fingers!!...
that's what they say about the Eastmans level the frets etc bad frets.
I just got one of these; it has no bad frets. ‘They’ are not always right
I got my finger caught between on my Former L7. The upper 2 strings kept getting out of the notch of the nut. The notches were filed and it fixed the problem. It never happened again after that.
How much for the Eastman?
Hey guitarman! Email me and I will send you the price: Rich@GuitarCollege.com
Low budget $2,000.00 guitar!!...
I was looking for this comment 😋 there's definitely too much 0 to be low budget but the thing sure sounds damn good
Check out a Benedetto if you think that’s a lot 😂
Sadly those are the prices nowadays. Especially for an archtop.
It would be 10x more beautiful with a wood binding, flamed maple or anything really. These plastic bindings on these beautiful tone-woods smh.
Trigger finger. Look it up. You can get shots or have surgery.
Was about to say beginnings of arthritis . Check with your doctor. He’ll probably ignore you. No cure.
Arthritis rolls on. I played 35 years. Can’t play at all now because of arthritis. I had one of these guitars from new in2006. Loved it. Of course a setup helps and I made a wood pick guard. Plastic didn’t cut it.
Well that's a trigger finger and related to arthritis in a general sense...wear and tear. It's dismal for a musician. You need to rest it best you can...I've got it in both little fingers. Steroid injections can help lots and surgery can correct it but resting it might help. Give it some time to see but as a pro you might end up considering some medical intervention if even just the steroid first if it proves bothersome enough.
Thank you for your insight
lmao “low to medium price range” it’s $2.1k- that’s not cheap at all 😂
Compared to a $10,000 Gibson L5 or a $6,000 Heritage... it is on the low to medium end.
@@RichSeversonGuitar right, ok, but nobody buys that except the elites, so it’s not in the question. that would be like comparing a couple rolex’s, and then pricing it against a limited edition run of 3 model that was handmade for a single guy.
