*USED* This example dates to about 2011, and still plays and sounds great. Cosmetic wear is present on the body, but the neck is straight with very clean frets. The previous owner added a K&K passive pickup making it stage ready. Includes a newer hardshell case. A great way to save! The MD-305 is the entry level A-Style mandolin from Eastman's line. It is ALL SOLID WOOD, fully handcrafted and hand carved with a solid spruce top and solid maple back and sides. The vintage style tailpiece and tuners provide a traditional look. It features a satin lacquer finish, ivoroid binding on the top, chrome plated hardware, and a bone nut. These are the best mandolins in this price range on the market today!
