*New 2026 Model* Eastman MD305 Wide Nut A-Style Mandolin #1184

The Eastman MD305 Wide Nut brings a solid Adirondack spruce top and solid maple back and sides to a traditional A-style body vented through classic F-holes, aimed at mandolin players who want tone and feel over ornamentation. A wider 1 3/16 inch bone nut sets this model apart immediately, giving the fretting hand extra room for double stops and dense chord work that feel cramped on a standard mandolin neck.

Adirondack spruce adds headroom and punch that holds up under a hard pick attack, and the solid maple body adds articulation that helps individual notes cut through a mix instead of blending into it. A floating ebony bridge and cast aluminum tailpiece transfer string energy efficiently, producing tight lows, clear mids, and a crisp, singing top end whether driving bluegrass rhythm or carrying a melody line in old-time or folk settings.

A maple neck carries an ebony fingerboard with a 12 inch radius across a 13 7/8 inch scale, and Proline tuners keep it in tune reliably through a set. Ivoroid binding and pearl dot inlays keep the look understated, and a thin satin finish paired with D'Addario XT phosphor bronze strings rounds out a mandolin that's ready to work out of the case. Shipped in a padded gig bag, the MD305 Wide Nut suits a mandolin player who wants extra room on the neck without giving up traditional Eastman tone.
