EastmanMD305 A-Style Mandolin Classic

Product overview
About this model
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. Eastman Mandolin Features Solid Construction for Dedicated Musicians Intermediate and advancing players often look for an instrument that supports fast runs, comfortable chording and expressive dynamics. This A-style mandolin balances sturdy maple construction with a lightweight, playable body, making it suited for bluegrass jams or acoustic sessions. The compensated bridge and bone nut help keep tuning stable, even during heavy picking or extended rehearsals. Players using this model get smooth fretwork and accurate action for clean, articulate notes. Focused design features support consistent sound and easy handling, helping you develop technique and confidence every time you play.
