Eastman MD305E 300 Series Solid Spruce / Maple A Style Mandolin w/ Pickup Sunburst

Bright F-Hole Cut with Built-In Pickup Versatility

The Eastman MD305E pairs an A-style teardrop body with F-holes for a bright, cutting voice that can hold its place in an ensemble. Its solid Spruce top and solid Maple back and sides provide the acoustic foundation, with the F-hole design adding the treble attack and percussive chop suited to folk, Celtic, classical and group playing. A K&K Duotone pickup makes it ready for amplified performance without changing the straightforward acoustic format.

The Maple neck is paired with an Ebony fingerboard and 304.8 mm (12”) radius, with 23 Jescar frets across a 352.4 mm (13.88”) scale. A 27.8 mm (1.09”) bone nut and adjustable compensated Ebony bridge complete the playing setup.

Handcrafted by Eastman luthiers, the MD305E features a Satin Sunburst finish, Ivoroid top binding, Nickel hardware, Proline J-105 tuners and an Eastman cast Aluminium tailpiece. A Padded Gig Bag is included.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this acoustic-electric mandolin is a great choice for players who want the direct attack and projection of an F-hole A-style instrument with solid tonewoods and a built-in pickup for live use.
