{"product_id":"eastman-er-m-gb-goldburst-el-rey-mandolin-0211","title":"Eastman ER-M-GB Goldburst El Rey Mandolin #0211","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Eastman ER-M-GB El Rey mandolin is a total curveball for the traditional eighth-note picker, completely reinventing what an electric mandolin can look, feel, and sound like. Born out of a partnership with master luthier Otto D'Ambrosio, this stunning instrument features a radical, swooping solid maple top and a solid one-piece mahogany body that feels closer to an archtop electric guitar than a porch-sitting bluegrass box. Drenched in a flawless, high-gloss Truetone Goldburst finish and outlined with crisp ivoroid top binding, it makes an immediate visual statement on any stage. It flips the script entirely, abandoning traditional body shapes for an edgy, asymmetrical design that balances absolute modern style with genuine performance ergonomics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlugging this beast in reveals an entirely new tonal frontier that breaks miles away from standard acoustic chirp. Eastman loaded the El Rey with a custom-voiced Lollar mandolin humbucker right in the sweet spot, yielding a fat, thick, and incredibly warm electric voice with tons of sustain. Because it's built around a solid body design rather than a traditional acoustic chamber, you can run this mandolin through an overdriven tube amp or a sprawling pedalboard with zero feedback issues. It delivers a punchy, muscular midrange and articulate, rounded trebles that are perfect for jazz fusion, modern rock, or stepping out front to take an absolute blistering, effects-heavy solo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the hands, it offers an incredibly slick, fast-playing platform that will push your technique into overdrive. The solid maple neck is capped with an ebony fingerboard and carved to a comfortable 12-inch radius, letting you execute fast, single-note lines and wide chord stretches with absolute ease. The 1 3\/32-inch bone nut provides standard, intuitive string spacing, while the adjustable compensated ebony bridge and cast aluminum tailpiece ensure rock-solid intonation and maximum string energy transfer. Shipped with a hardshell case, the ER-M-GB El Rey is a highly specialized, performance-driven tool built for the player ready to push the boundaries of the mandolin world and explore uncharted electric territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck: Maple\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\"\u003cbr\u003eNut: Bone 1 3\/32\"\u003cbr\u003eFretwire: Jescar FW43080\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 13 7\/8\"\u003cbr\u003eBody Style: ER Mandolin Style Body\u003cbr\u003eBody Dimensions: 26 11\/16\" X 10\" X 1 5\/8\"\u003cbr\u003eBody Top: Solid Maple\u003cbr\u003eBody Back\/Sides: Solid One-Piece Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod: Single Acting\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Top\u003cbr\u003eBinding Material: Ivoroid\u003cbr\u003eLogo: Pearl Headstock\u003cbr\u003eInlay: Pearl El Rey Thumbnails\u003cbr\u003eSide Dot Color: Black\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Truetone Gloss\u003cbr\u003eNeck\/Headstock Finish: Truetone Gloss\u003cbr\u003eHardware Color: Nickel\u003cbr\u003eTailpiece: Cast Aluminum\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Adjustable Compensated Ebony\u003cbr\u003eString Spacing: 1 5\/8\"\u003cbr\u003eNut Height: 0.018\"\u003cbr\u003ePickup: Custom Lollar Mandolin Humbucker\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Quality Geared Tuner\u003cbr\u003eStrap Peg: Gotoh Nickel\u003cbr\u003eStrings: D'Addario Nickel Bronze # NBM1140\u003cbr\u003eAction Height: 0.060\"\/0.050\"\u003cbr\u003eCase: Hardshell Case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Choose The Acoustic Shoppe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen you choose to purchase from us, you're not just making a transaction; you're investing in an exceptional experience.
