Eastman Uptown AR805E - Singinc - 03-25-2024
Does anyone know much about this model? The certificate of authenticity says ‘06. I bought it thinking I would learn to play jazz guitar, but it didn’t happen. I’d like to sell it. It’s been sitting in its case since I bought it. Advice please.

It is a solid spruce top with solid maple back/sides. It is hand carved. They are still offered by Eastman, maybe with some changes to the pick up. New MAP is around $2300. Used is very dependent on condition. Eastman arch tops are very well received. I would look for a jazz or western swing type forum for a sale. You might also want to reach out to Django Books in Seattle. They seem to be an excellent dealer and resource for various arch top models. Good luck
