One of the Eastman John Pisano signature models, is it possible to find a better jazz guitar?

John Pisano (February 6, 1931 – May 2, 2024) may need a little introduction so we will let Eastman do the honours:

"John Pisano has been formally recognized as one of the nation’s finest guitarists. Even if his name doesn’t immediately ring a bell, odds are that you’ve heard his guitar work.

John became an active member of the Los Angeles studio scene, adding his special touch to groups let by Buddy DeFranco, Red Norvo, Bud Shank and Benny Goodman. Additionally, John has accompanied in concert or recording some of music’s biggest names, including Peggy Lee, Tony Bennett, Burt Bacharach, Frank Sinatra, Michael Franks, Clare Fischer, Julie London, Bobby Troup, Natalie Cole, Joe Pass Barbra Streisand and Diana Krall. John is a founding member of Herb Alpert’s Tijuana Brass and obtained some solid Brazilian experience working with Sergio Mendes.

John is the current spokesman and chief endorser for Eastman Guitars and has developed the “John Pisano” Signature Model for Eastman. For nearly 40 years, John Pisano’s playing has provided a model for improvisational creativity, technical excellence, and a seamless blend of jazz and latin elements."
