AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
MD505
The Eastman MD505 A-Style Mandolin is a perfect example of “Old World” craftsmanship meeting modern playability. Hand-carved from premium solid spruce and solid flamed maple, it delivers a warm, woody tone with vintage character and outstanding projection. The A-style body design with f-holes provides punch and clarity, making this mandolin an excellent choice for bluegrass, folk, and classical players alike.
A glossy nitrocellulose finish enhances both the natural resonance and timeless look of the instrument, while an ebony fingerboard and compensated ebony bridge provide smooth playability and accurate intonation. Complete with ivoroid binding, white mother-of-pearl inlays, and reliable chrome hardware, the MD505 offers elegant aesthetics and performance-ready reliability. It also comes with a hardshell case, making it gig- and travel-ready straight out of the box.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain / colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument. If you have any questions at all regarding an instrument's appearance, just drop us a line - we're always happy to send photos, and if we have more than one instrument in stock you'll be able to choose the exact guitar that you receive!
