Eastman PCH3 GACE – Comfort, clarity and modern reliability

The Eastman PCH3 GACE features a solid Sitka spruce top, which provides a quick attack, brightness and rich overtones. The laminated maple back and sides add clarity and projection, giving the guitar enough presence for both fingerstyle and more energetic strumming. The X-bracing keeps the response dynamic and sensitive—ideal for players who value nuance and expressiveness.

The maple neck with its Traditional Even “C” profile sits comfortably in the hand. Combined with the ovangkol fingerboard and 12" radius, the guitar feels modern, stable and easy to play. The Truetone Gloss finish gives the instrument a premium appearance while allowing the wood to resonate freely. As a grand auditorium body, the PCH3 GACE is an excellent all-rounder suited for a wide range of musical styles.

For amplified playing, the guitar comes equipped with an Eastman-designed pickup by Fishman. This system is known for its natural, clear reproduction—making it perfect for live performances, worship settings and recording sessions.

Playability & applications

Thanks to its 25.4" scale length and carefully adjusted action, the PCH3 GACE offers a smooth, responsive playing feel. The low action makes both chord playing and melodic passages easy and comfortable. The combination of Sitka spruce and maple provides a fresh, bright sound that excels in pop, worship, folk, singer-songwriter music and acoustic accompaniment. With an acoustic amplifier or compact DI, you can easily achieve a surprisingly professional live tone.
