The Eastman MD305 A-style mandolin is built for serious players who want classic tone and reliable playability. Using a solid spruce top and solid maple back and sides, this mandolin delivers crisp, bright sound with plenty of projection. The ebony fingerboard with a 12" radius feels smooth and fast under your fingers, and the 13-7/8" scale length gives clear note separation. Its 23 medium fretwire and bone nut provide steady intonation, while the adjustable compensated ebony bridge lets you fine-tune your setup. The satin finish on both body and neck cuts glare and feels broken-in from day one. Details like ivoroid binding, pearl dot inlays and a cast aluminum tailpiece round out a build that stands up to regular gigging or practice. A padded gig bag is included for safe transport.
