  • In this video, I show you an archtop guitar that I sold to a friend a while ago and that I just bought back from him. It's an Eastman AR503ce that is in mint condition. The 503 is known for being Eastman's most affordable archtop with a solid spruce top. It also has a 3-piece neck that feels great. The sunburst finish on this one looks fantastic. I highly recommend this guitar for jazz beginners because of its relatively low price compared to Gibson or Heritage Archtops.
    Also, I have hundreds of other lessons for guitar players who like Jazz, Blues, Bebop, and Fingerstyle guitar arrangements. There are also a lot of lessons on guitar technique and guitar scales along with exercises meant to build your chops. Check them all out here: guitarcollegel...

    About Rich:
    Originally from the L.A. area, Rich has been playing professionally and teaching guitar for over thirty years. His education includes years of college and private instruction with a variety of teachers including Mitch Holder, Ted Greene, Joe Pass, and Charlie Shoemake to name a few. He feels education is a continuing process, there's always more to learn. Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Howard Roberts, Ted Greene, and Larry Carleton have all influenced his playing.
    Rich wrote three books for a major publisher Dale Zdenek/ Belwin Mills/Columbia providing him the opportunity to work with other great artists/authors like Tommy Tedesco, Joe Diorio, and Ted Greene. After teaching at GIT/Musicians Institute, in Hollywood, CA, for three years he developed and published his own home study guitar school type curriculum available on his website www.GuitarCollegeLibrary.com which has helped over ten thousand students improve their playing.
    Rich has won honorable mentions and awards in songwriting and served as president of the Ventura County Producers and Songwriters Guild. Touring for three years with "Dick Clark's Good Old Rock and Roll Show" he had the opportunity to perform with Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Little Anthony, and many other great, old-time rock and rollers.
    After moving his family to the Yosemite/Fresno area he taught guitar and directed the jazz band at Fresno Pacific University for two years. Being a well-rounded player, Rich is comfortable playing a variety of styles including jazz (his favorite), blues, rock, fusion, country, and solo fingerstyle. He performs at local venues in a number of different scenarios; as a solo guitarist, with his jazz trio or quartet or smooth jazz quintet. At home in his studio, he is continually producing new lessons for CZcams and www.GuitarCollegeLibrary.com.
    The years of experience and knowledge he can share with you will
    help you be the player you always dreamed you'd be.

    Beautiful guitar for a modest budget. I really like the body style, looks and sound. If only I didn't have so many guitars already......

    2:43 love the sound he gets from every guitar he plays. I just bought the 503ce after watching this video and reading other reviews. Love the wider neck as I am a classical/fingerstyle player. Love the sound, playability, and ease of playing. Just purchased his strings as well.

    As usual. Your musicianship is second to none. I am from a godforsaken land called Malaysia. There is a dearth of real jazzers like you here. I already have a 372 and a T386. I' m going to get a 503 next

    Hey Rich, I was interested in weather you use a wound 20 or steel string 20 for your G strings in those custom sets ? And are they flat wounds ?
