Description
The Eastman MDO305E-SB is an A-style octave mandolin with S-holes, a solid spruce top over solid maple back and sides, a sunburst finish and a K&K Duotone pickup built in. Octave tuning drops the voice an octave below a standard mandolin, and the spruce and maple keep that low register clear.
The 21 inch scale gives the strings room to breathe without stretching the reach, and the ebony fingerboard has a 12 inch radius with 23 frets. A 1.38 inch bone nut, an adjustable compensated ebony bridge and a cast aluminum tailpiece complete the hardware.
Top binding and a satin finish give it a vintage look, and a padded Eastman gig bag comes with it. We would point it at a player who wants to play an octave mandolin through a PA or a recording interface without adding a pickup later.
