Viable Maple and Spruce Meets Deluxe Eastman Electronics
A standout among Eastman Guitars' grand auditorium acoustic line, the PCH3-GACE's spruce and maple construction provide a top-end sonic character that is truly it's own. Expected Eastman appointments, including a spruce-built scalloped X-bracing system and a redesigned GA body shape, level the PCH3-GACE's audial playing field with massive projection, sustain, and responsiveness. A true bone nut and rosewood/bone saddle, closed-back Eastman tuning machines, Jescar Fretwire frets, and deluxe nickel hardware line this 6-string with extended playability and versatility, lending to a wealth of different genres and play styles. To top it all off, Eastman fit the PCH3-GACE with its proprietary Eastman pickup system, ensuring maximum use on the stage and in the studio, with plenty of control over voicing the instrument for ultimate sonic exploration.
Pinnacle Eastman construction
Topped with Sitka spruce, the PCH3-GACE's flamed maple back and sides produce rich acoustic tone with plenty of top-end clarity and response that maple is known for. Internally, the PCH3-GACE's scalloped X-bracing pattern helps keep vibrations authentic and maintains peak structural stability — not to mention a powerful boost of sustain. It's all topped off with Eastman's traditional Grand Auditorium body style, a shape known for its bold, mellow character and stage-worthy projection. Combined, the PCH3-GACE's constructive features amount to a formidable 6-string with all the tonality discerning guitarists call for — without the sacrifices of mobility and comfort.

Simply plug in and play! Bedroom practice sessions, street side mini-amp performances, you name it — with an onboard Eastman pickup system, it's possible.
