Crafted for players seeking modern versatility alongside signature style, the 2026 NAMM Model Eastman PCH3-GACE-AB Grand Auditorium Cutaway pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with laminated maple back and sides. This combination yields a balanced, articulate, and responsive acoustic tone housed in a comfortable, stage-ready body shape. Dressed in a striking Amberburst Truetone gloss finish, it offers a contemporary aesthetic while preserving the refined, classic aesthetic hallmark to Eastman instruments.
Engineered to thrive across a wide range of musical genres, the guitar features scalloped X-bracing that allows the Sitka top to project with clear fundamentals and smooth highs, while the maple body adds focus and midrange definition. Its grand auditorium profile balances warm lows with clear highs—making it an excellent fit for fingerstyle playing, light strumming, or full rhythm work. The ergonomic cutaway provides easy access to the higher frets, while built-in Eastman by Fishman electronics ensure your plugged-in sound remains natural and true to the instrument's organic acoustic tone.
Designed with effortless playability in mind, the neck features a classic traditional even "C" profile, a 25.4" scale length, a 1 3/4" bone nut, and a 12"-radius fingerboard for a familiar, fluid feel up and down the neck. Detailed touches—such as an abalone rosette, pearl dot inlays, a rosewood bridge, and a precise factory setup—ensure an exceptional playing experience right out of the box. Complete with a padded Eastman gig bag, this 2026 NAMM model combines premium features, eye-catching style, and reliable craftsmanship in an accessible package.
