From top to bottom, the PCH2-GACE acoustic guitar sports all of Eastman's finest features: a classic tonewood combination, performing nickel appointments, and onboard proprietary electronics. For starters, the spruce and rosewood construction projects a wonderfully classic and full acoustic tone, while the deep grand auditorium body shape ensures ample power in large room and performance situations. Likewise, the guitar's satin-finished okoume neck features a 12-inch radius rosewood fingerboard, complete with pearl dot inlays and white dot side markers for exceptional navigation and playability. It's all rounded out by a collection of Eastman fittings, including high-performance tuning machines and a true bone nut and saddle combo for enhanced intonation and sound stability.





Tried-and-true sonic recipe





At the end of the day, it all comes down to tone ? and the PCH2-GACE is full of it.

Shaped to adhere to Eastman Guitars' grand auditorium cutaway body style, the PCH2-GACE supplies more than enough power to fill any room with booming acoustics ? all while amounting to a comfortable playing feel in standing and sitting jamming situations.
