Eastman ACTG2E Travel Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Includes Gig Bag – Used Excellent
The travel guitar category is full of compromises — instruments that sacrifice tone, playability, or both in the name of portability. The Eastman ACTG2E is a genuine exception to that pattern. Built with the same commitment to materials and craftsmanship that defines Eastman's full-size lineup, it delivers all-solid wood construction, hand-scalloped X-bracing, and premium hardware in a compact 23.5-inch scale package that fits in an overhead bin and sounds like a real guitar when you take it out. The solid Sitka spruce top is the tonal foundation — responsive and dynamic, with a broad range that accommodates fingerpicking and strumming equally well. Solid ovangkol back and sides bring a warm, full voice with good low-end definition and a complexity that laminate construction simply cannot replicate. The mahogany neck with traditional even C profile is comfortable and immediately familiar, the ebony fingerboard with bone nut and saddle are premium touches that lift this guitar well above the travel instrument category, and Fishman Sonitone electronics make it genuinely stage-ready when needed. Tortoise binding, pearl dot inlays, and open-gear tuners round out a build that is carefully considered from end to end. This is not a guitar you use because you have to — it is a guitar you reach for because you want to.
This one is in superb shape — excellent condition with only basic pick marks on the pickguard and no real signs of wear otherwise. Plays great with a nice warm tone that punches well above its compact footprint. Comes with a gig bag.
