Eastman MD315E-SB Mandolin

Includes Gig Bag

Available at Acoustic Centre Melbourne

The Eastman MD315E-SB Mandolin is an exquisite F-style mandolin finished in a striking sunburst, hand-crafted using traditional materials and techniques that honour old-world mandolin-making traditions. A hand-carved solid spruce top pairs with solid flamed maple back and sides for a balanced, refined tone with genuine warmth and projection.

An ebony fretboard, compensated bridge, and genuine bone nut ensure exceptional playability and tone, while the satin nitrocellulose finish lets the instrument resonate and breathe naturally, with ivoroid binding adding a touch of elegance. Ideal for bluegrass players at any level, from seasoned performers to those exploring mandolin for the first time, this model comes with a K&K pickup already installed for amplified performance, plus a padded Eastman gig bag for protection and convenience.
