Description
The Eastman MDO605-GB is an A-style octave mandolin with a solid spruce top, solid maple back and sides and a Goldburst gloss finish. An octave mandolin is tuned an octave below a standard mandolin, and this one has a 21 inch scale against the 13 7/8 inch scale of a standard mandolin. Eastman describes the 600 Series octave mandolins as a very limited run.
The neck is a three-piece build of maple, mahogany and maple, with an ebony fingerboard on a 12 inch radius, pearl block inlays, 23 Jescar frets and a 1 3/8 inch bone nut. Ivoroid binding runs around the top and back. The bridge is adjustable ebony, the tailpiece is cast aluminum, the pickguard is ebony, and Pingwell RM-11583N-26A tuners hold pitch. A K&K Mandolin Duotone pickup is installed, so it plugs in without a retrofit, and it ships in a hardshell case.
It suits a player who wants an octave mandolin ready for the stage, with the pickup and the hardshell case already included. Players who want a standard-pitch mandolin should look at our other Eastman A-style models.
