Eastman MD505 A Style Mandolin

Includes Hardshell Case

The Eastman MD505 A-Style Mandolin is a fine 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, while the A-style body design with f-holes provides punch and clarity that suits 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, reliable chrome hardware, and an included hardshell case, the MD505 is ideal for players who want elegant looks and gig-ready reliability in one instrument.
