El Rey Archtop Guitars (designed by Otto D’Ambrosio)
Taking a slight departure from fully-carved, archtop jazz guitars, Otto D’Ambrosio and Eastman Guitars are proud to launch the El Rey series. These completely handcarved 14” electric guitars are for the player who demands tomorrow’s cutting edge instruments, today. With the patent pending “neck block cutaway” construction, they are ideal for any musical application. The El Rey series features Kent Armstrong pickups, gold plated Gotoh hardware and a 25” scale length. Lightweight and versatile, these handcrafted, solid wood creations come in three different variations and four finishes: classic, sunburst, custom saphire blue, and custom red.
