The Eastman MD315 is a handcrafted F-style mandolin that delivers serious tone and playability at a remarkable value. Built with a solid spruce top and solid maple back and sides, it produces a balanced, articulate voice with crisp highs, strong projection, and the percussive "chop" that bluegrass and roots players demand. The thin satin lacquer finish allows the tonewoods to resonate freely, giving the MD315 a mature, woody character that punches well above its price class. An ebony fingerboard and adjustable compensated ebony bridge round out the playing experience with smooth action and reliable intonation. Whether you're cutting through a bluegrass jam, navigating Celtic melodies, or exploring jazz and swing, the MD315 is a versatile, gig-ready instrument built to grow with you.
