In \u003cstrong\u003eExcellent Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e, there are a few light scratches on the top and one scuff by the right F-hole. The MD505 is a shining example of this commitment, offering players a completely hand-carved, solid-wood A-style mandolin that punches way above its price point. Utilizing a premium solid Spruce top paired with solid Maple back and sides, this instrument delivers a classic, clean visual aesthetic wrapped in a high-gloss finish that lets the natural figuring of the tone woods shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eTonally, this MD505 provides the exact bark, chop, and projection that acoustic musicians demand. Thanks to its traditional F-hole design and hand-carved parallel spruce bracing, the top moves with exceptional efficiency, producing a focused, punchy midrange and a crisp, bell-like high-end clarity. The low-end response is tight and articulate, ensuring that your chop chords cut cleanly through a dense bluegrass mix while single-note fiddle tunes project with a sweet, woody sustain that opens up beautifully the more it is played.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eIn the hands, Eastman mandolins are celebrated for their player-friendly geometry and effortless neck feel. The radiused ebony fingerboard features a comfortable 12-inch curvature that naturally fits the hand, reducing fretboard fatigue during long jam sessions or demanding studio takes. Outfitted with an adjustable compensated ebony bridge and a rugged Eastman cast aluminum tailpiece for maximum energy transfer, this 2021 MD505 stands out as a highly reliable, inspiring instrument ready for everything from local pickin' circles to the festival stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Style: A-Style w\/ F-Holes\u003cbr\u003eTop: Solid Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBack and Sides: Solid Maple\u003cbr\u003eNeck: Maple\u003cbr\u003eNeck Profile: (COULDN'T FIND)\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Radius Ebony\u003cbr\u003eBracing: Parallel Spruce Bracing\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Adjustable Compensated Ebony\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Pingwell RM-1583N-26A\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Gloss Finish\u003cbr\u003eNut Material and Width: Bone, 1-3\/32\"\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 13-7\/8\"\u003cbr\u003eTailpiece: Eastman Cast Aluminum Tailpiece\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Ivoroid Top and Fingerboard Binding\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNotice: This is a used item.
