Thanks everyone who gave their input in my first post a month or so ago. It makes me very happy to share the pictures of this absolute stunner with you. My first ever guitar and I couldn’t have done better!
PS - I wanted to do a post earlier as did receive the guitar about 3.5 weeks ago but unfortunately tore my cartilage in my knee so have been all over the place and in recovery.
Cheers!
EDIT — Model AC722CE (Dakota Fade). Added pictures using the upload image feature.

It is indeed. Never held a guitar before so it’s gonna take some time. Looking forward to be able to play some simple tunes, hopefully in the near future.

The AC series is fantastic, IMO. I have an AC622CE and after a long playing life on Martins, Collings, and Gibson I was stunned to find that there was a guitar with such a remarkable and distinctive voice new on the scene. I think Eastman clobbered Taylor in that respect, and for my purposes the Eastman is superior to the "big three" because it offers qualities of a dreadnought, jumbo, and even small-bodied guitar combined in a remarkable balance and without compromise. As others have said, that's a heck of a first new guitar -- and it will serve you beautifully and without compromise. I just love the voice of the AC series. It's modern and present and beautiful without being unusual or quirky at all. Congratulations on your guitar. Treat it well.
