Built with an iconic Florentine scroll body shape, this particular unit is finished in Eastman’s highly resonant Classic gloss lacquer, leaning into a slightly more vibrant, deep reddish hue that beautifully highlights the premium woods underneath. Engineered specifically for players who crave a more expansive tonal palette than a standard f-hole instrument can provide, this gorgeous instrument balances high-end acoustic velocity with an incredible, organic visual presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe acoustic signature of this oval-hole mandolin relies on a premium, entirely hand-carved solid spruce top paired with solid highly-flamed maple back and sides. While a traditional f-hole mandolin offers a sharp, percussive bark, the carved oval soundhole of the MD614 opens up a much wider, deeper, and more circular acoustic landscape. This configuration pushes out a warm, hollow bass response, a singing, liquid-like midrange sustain, and an inherently sweet high-end chime that makes it exceptionally well-suited for old-time music, Celtic melodies, classical arrangements, or solo vocal accompaniment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe figured maple neck features a highly comfortable, traditional \"V\" profile that offers an effortless grip, paired with a radiused ebony fingerboard and a clean, bound headstock overlay. This premium instrument features a phenomenal aftermarket hardware upgrade in the form of a high-performance James tailpiece, working alongside the traditional adjustable ebony bridge to maximize structural stability and simplify string changes. Fully inspected, set up, and dialed in by our shop team to guarantee a fast, low action with pristine note definition across all pairs of strings, this MD614 stands ready for its next musical chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: F-Style with Oval Hole\u003cbr\u003eTop: S Solid Hand-Carved Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBack and Sides: Solid Hand-Carved Flamed Maple\u003cbr\u003eNeck: Flamed Maple\u003cbr\u003eNeck Profile: Traditional \"V\"\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Radius Ebony\u003cbr\u003eBracing: Parallel Bracing\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Adjustable Ebony\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Geared Tuners with Pearloid Buttons\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Classic Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eNut Material and Width: Bone, 1-3\/32\"\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 13-7\/8\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a Dread-Not Certified Used Instrument?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUp to 90% trade-in value toward a future instrument, a professional inspection by our repair team, and a stage-ready setup you can trust are all part of what makes a Dread-Not Certified Used instrument different from typical used gear.
