Yes. First archtop I've owned. Different. But really enjoying it. I'll try and post some pics.

Here are a couple images.   This is the first (quality) archtop I've owned.   The previous owner traded out the stock knobs.   I play it through a Fender SuperChamp XD's clean channel.   The tone is pretty good to my ears, but I'm still new to this.   And the previous owner had installed D'Addario flatwounds.

You can see the original owner's pics from the REverb listing, too, folks.

Looks like a beauty! Eastman's jazz boxes were the first of their range to cause ripples and gain universal recognition for quality.
