Modeled after the classic instruments of the 1920's the Eastman MD-515 classic finish is a fully hand-carved solid mandolin crafted with an aged brown solid ispruce top and solid flamed maple back and sides. The maple neck is finished with a solid ebony fingerboard and an ebony fronted headstock. Fittings are nickel plated and the fret board features dot inlays. An adjustable bridge insures perfect action. These lovely mandolins come fully set-up and come with a hard shaped Eastman hard case.
