Developed in collaboration with Jefferson Starship and Starship guitarist Craig Chaquico, the EA26 signature model adapts traditional acoustic soundboard design to a feedback-resistant thinline format tailored for amplified performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed with a solid spruce top featuring distinctive florentine soundholes, the instrument is paired with figured maple back and sides and a comfort-contoured thinline body depth. The mahogany neck features a rosewood fingerboard appointed with custom pearloid crown inlays and 21 frets across a 25.5\" scale length. Amplified output is driven by an onboard active piezo pickup and preamp system incorporating a 4-band equalizer, notch filter, and master volume control, backed by gold-plated die-cast tuning machines and a rosewood bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSolid Spruce Top with Florentine Slots\u003c\/b\u003e: Soundboard architecture configured with stylized cutouts to reduce feedback while maintaining dynamic acoustic projection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThinline Figured Maple Body\u003c\/b\u003e: Shallow body depth reduces acoustic coupling at high stage volumes while providing light, ergonomic handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSingle Florentine Cutaway\u003c\/b\u003e: Deeply contoured upper cutaway provides unhindered access to the highest frets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4-Band Active Preamp System\u003c\/b\u003e: Onboard EQ sliders enable precise tone shaping across low, mid, high, and presence frequency bands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntegrated Feedback Control\u003c\/b\u003e: Built-in notch filter circuit targets and isolates problematic resonant frequencies during live amplified use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCustom Aesthetic Appointments\u003c\/b\u003e: Features full body binding, gold hardware, and signature fingerboard inlays reflecting the artist's original design preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecond Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guitar is in great condition, with it having undergone a cleaning and setup by our guitar specialists.
