3 Minute Demo: Eastman AR810ce (for Thumbstyle Guitar)

Thanks everyone for watching! I thought I'd do a quick video of my Eastman AR810ce. This is an archtop guitar that I have used for a number of years as my primary instrument with my thumbstyle trio, The VaudeVillains.

This is a 17" archtop that sounds wonderful plugged and unplugged. While many of us think of particular brands or styles for thumbstyle playing, I particularly love using a modern archtop-style instrument for my trio. We play a number of "classy" venues where we provide background music for a number of hours at a time. This guitar provides the ergonomic comfort that is necessary to get through the gig, and a nice even sound that blends well with the other instruments in the group.

If you have any questions, comments, or would just like to geek out on Eastman guitars with me, please leave it down below!
