Eastman Spruce/Maple A-Style Mandolin Classic Finish

Crafted with Traditional Quality in Mind

Eastman Guitars' outstanding MD505 A-style mandolin is a masterpiece of solid tonewoods and handcrafted appointments, making it a sophisticated instrument suitable for both advancing hobbyists and seasoned professionals.

At the heart of the MD505's vibrant tone and uncompromising authenticity is its solid Sitka spruce top, which is expertly paired with a solid maple back and sides. This carefully selected tonewood combination produces a sound that is equal parts warm, bright, and faithful to historic mandolin designs.

The F-shaped soundholes of the MD505 tease out the instrument's percussive qualities, making it an ideal choice for bluegrass and other styles that require a lively, articulate tone. Complementing the tonewood pairing is a maple neck with a "Soft V" neck profile, providing unwavering support and comfort to the player's hands, regardless of the musical style being explored.

Eastman Guitars has paid close attention to the MD505's traditional craftsmanship, evident in the vintage-inspired gloss finish, bound body and fingerboard, and a pearl headstock logo. These thoughtful details not only enhance the mandolin's visual appeal but also underscore the brand's commitment to preserving the essence of time-honored lutherie techniques.

The MD505 A-style mandolin is a testament to Eastman Guitars' dedication to creating instruments that seamlessly blend solid, mature tonewoods with expertly executed craftsmanship. This sophisticated instrument is poised to inspire both advancing hobbyists and seasoned professionals, offering a playing experience that is both authentic and accessible.
