Eastman MD505 Mandolin

The MD505 A-style mandolin comes in a distinctive Icelandic Brown finish and the solid spruce top is bound in Ivoroid. A high quality ebony bridge sits between the strings and the top and that bridge gives this mandolin it’s deep powerful tone. A-style mandolins are often underated but Eastman have a done great job with the 505.

The solid flamed Maple back is a good indication of the quality of timber used in this mandolin and the machine heads hold tune exceptionally well with buttons that can be replaced if accidents happen.
