Description

Eastman MD305 A-Style Mandolin: Hand-Carved Excellence For players seeking to move beyond entry-level laminates, the Eastman MD305 is the industry benchmark for professional-grade value. Unlike mass-produced beginner instruments, every MD305 is handcrafted using traditional methods to offer the tonal foundations of world-class mandolins at an accessible price point. Hand-Carved Tonewoods The MD305 features a solid Sitka Spruce top and solid Maple back and sides. These premium tonewoods are individually hand-carved, a labor-intensive process that allows the instrument to produce a powerful "bark" and clear projection. The A-style body with dual F-holes focuses the sound, making it ideal for bluegrass, folk, and ensemble playing where cutting through the mix is essential. Professional Playability Designed for comfort, this mandolin includes a 12" radiused ebony fingerboard, which is significantly easier on the fretting hand than traditional flat boards. It features a 1 3/32" bone nut for superior resonance and a 13 7/8" scale length. The adjustable compensated ebony bridge and cast aluminum tailpiece ensure excellent intonation and tuning stability. Finish and Condition Finished in a Classic Satin Nitrocellulose lacquer, the thin coating allows the wood to vibrate freely, resulting in a warm, "woody" tone that improves with age. This instrument is in Very Good condition, showing only a minor cosmetic nick on the body edge (see photos). It remains structurally perfect and plays beautifully across the entire neck. Included Accessories: Original Eastman padded gig bag. Pro-style spring-loaded capo. Original T-style truss rod adjustment tool. The Eastman MD305 offers an authentic acoustic experience that bridges the gap between student models and professional boutique instruments. It is a reliable, high-performance choice for any dedicated player.
