The Eastman MD505 CC/TV A-Style Mandolin features a True Tone Vintage finish and contoured comfort edges. Each MD505 CC/TV is individually hand-built using traditional materials and “Old World” craftsmanship.
Solid spruce top, solid flamed maple back and sides with an ebony fingerboard and adjustable ebony bridge. The contoured comfort edges provide a smoother playing surface and the True Tone Vintage finish consists of a delicate balance between hardness and flexibility without compromising the resonance or signature tone that makes an Eastman.
Simplicity of design without sacrificing quality and tone. A-style or teardrop mandolins offer the benefit of a fine mandolin without the extra cost of the F-style. Its tonal brightness makes it a popular choice in the classical, folk, and Celtic genres.
