| Before Eastman Strings came along, you
just could not get an all solid true carved (not pressed) mandolin in this
price point. Well the folks at Eastman have once again pushed
the boundaries of what you can expect in an affordable instrument with
the introduction of their new MD815V varnish finished F-5 style mandolin!
To get a hand carved F-5 with premium Red spruce
top, fiddle-back maple back & sides, radiused fingerboard
and a hand applied varnish finish, you are into the five figures.
I should say you USED to be looking at five figures ... but not anymore.
With a list price of $1950.00 and a discounted sell price of well below
that, this really is a breakthrough in the high end mandolin market!!! |
