Eastman MD305 Classic Mandolin
The Eastman MD305 is a traditional A-style mandolin built for players who demand genuine tone without compromise. Its solid Adirondack spruce top delivers the bold, punchy projection that bluegrass and folk players crave, while solid maple back and sides provide the bright, cutting response essential for mandolin work. F-hole sound ports focus the sound with clarity and power, giving single-note lines real bite in a mix. The ebony fingerboard offers a fast, smooth playing surface, and the adjustable compensated ebony bridge ensures precise intonation across all strings. Finished in a warm Amberburst with a Truetone satin finish that lets the wood breathe and resonate freely, the MD305 captures the look and feel of a well-loved vintage instrument at a fraction of the cost.
