Anyone have any experience with the grand auditorium models ?
I’m thinking about the 722/822
But I much prefer the Baggs anthem pick up
So that’s only available in the 822
Any one out there got one of these ?
I love the bevel thing . The look of the guitar
Just wondered what anyone else thought.

James -- don't have the AC 722 or 822, but I do have the AC522CE-Goldburst, which is my preferred wood choice: Spruce over Mahogany. My thoughts on it are here, if you're curious:

Hi James -
I used to own an Eastman 7xx series acoustic. Great guitar, especially if you are looking for a rosewood back and side model. I agree, the beveled comfort edge is a killer feature, and the sound port is also quite cool. Good luck in your search!

James,
I have the AC722. This is one of the best guitars I have ever played. The neck melts in your hands and the sound is so very smooth. The 722 is a deeper sounding guitar than the 822. Both are excellent guitars. You won't go wrong with either of them.
Thanks,
Tim

I have the 522. Best guitar I have ever played. It all depends on rosewood or mahogany as to which one you get. But I prefer mahogany and the 522 is an amazing sounding guitar. Makes me think I may never buy another guitar. Seriously. It's that good.

Just wanted to say the 522 and 722 are both guitars that you can pick up and just play and before you know it an hour has gone by.

Thank you I actually tried the 522 and thought it was absolutely fantastic.
The look of it the sound and feel we’re really wonderful.
