*New 2026 Model* Eastman MD315 Wide Nut Adirondack/Maple Amberburst F-Style Mandolin #5197

The New 2026 Model Eastman MD315 Wide Nut Adirondack/Maple Amberburst  F-Style Mandolin is built for players who want a serious mandolin without giving up comfort or reliability. Crafted with a solid Adirondack spruce top and solid maple back and sides, this F-style instrument carries the traditional look that bluegrass and acoustic players love while offering a more player-friendly feel. The wide 1 3/16 inch bone nut immediately sets it apart, giving the fretting hand extra space for clean chords, accurate double stops, and relaxed technique. Finished in a thin satin, the MD315 feels broken in from day one and ready for long sessions on stage or at home.

From the first note, this Eastman mandolin delivers a focused, authoritative voice that cuts through a mix without sounding harsh. Adirondack spruce provides headroom and dynamic range, while the carved maple body adds definition and projection across the full register. The floating ebony bridge and cast aluminum tailpiece translate string energy efficiently, producing tight lows, crisp mids, and a clear, ringing top end. Whether driving rhythm in a band or working through melodic lines, this instrument responds quickly and stays articulate.

Attention to playability and detail completes the experience. A maple neck paired with a 12 inch radius ebony fingerboard and precision Jescar frets makes shifting smooth and predictable, even in higher positions. Proline tuners offer dependable tuning stability, and tasteful appointments like ivoroid binding, pearl dot inlays, and an ebony strap peg keep the look classic without distraction. Strung with D’Addario XT phosphor bronze and protected in a padded gig bag, the Eastman MD315 Wide Nut stands as a professional, working-player mandolin built to perform.
