The Eastman AR480CE-SB John Pisano 30th Anniversary Edition celebrates three decades of collaboration with legendary jazz guitarist John Pisano. This elegant archtop guitar combines traditional craftsmanship with Pisano’s signature touches, resulting in an instrument that is both visually stunning and sonically inspiring.

Crafted with flamed laminated maple for the top, back, and sides, paired with a maple neck and ebony fingerboard, the AR480CE offers articulate clarity and warmth ideal for jazz and complex chord voicings. A Seymour Duncan Seth Lover humbucker delivers vintage-inspired tone, while Pisano’s signature appointments — including a custom tailpiece, bound pickguard, and unique inlay at the 19th fret — make this model a true collector’s piece. Finished in a classic sunburst gloss and adorned with gold hardware, this special edition guitar balances refined style with versatile performance.
