This used Eastman MD515 F-Style Mandolin is in near mint condition and showcases Eastman's relentless dedication to quality. Made from hand-carved solid Spruce for its top and hand-carved solid Maple for its back and sides, it has a presence and tone that's perfect for old-time tunes and bluegrass, at a price you might not expect from such a high-quality instrument. A beautifully figured back adds a little extra character, and its nitrocellulose lacquer, high-gloss finish gives it additional shine - but its sound alone shines aplenty. Nickel Schaller tuners, nickel cast tailpiece, ivoroid binding, and a bone nut round out its accoutrements. This great Eastman MD515 F-Style Mandolin comes with the original fitted case too.
