Mint Eastman MD305E Sitka/Maple A-Style F-Hole Mandolin Sunburst w/K&K Duotone Pickup and Gigbag

Mandolins built by Eastman Guitars feature solid tomintoods and an array of striking handcrafted appointments. The outstanding MD305E A-style acoustic-electric mandolin debuts with a compact A-style body carved from solid spruce and solid maple for tone that’s bright, crisp, and authentically mandolin. Moreover, F-shaped soundholes tease out percussive qualities that lend themselves to bluegrass. The MD305E’s maple neck and “Soft V” neck profile lend unwavering support to your hands, which makes playing all sorts of styles a breeze. Eastman Guitars finalizes the MD305E mandolin with preinstalled electronics for gigs and recording, plus a fit and finish rarely seen at this price point. Solid wood appointments include an ebony bridge and parallel bracing carved from spruce. The finishing touch? An inviting Truetone satin finish that guards good looks while letting tomintoods vibrate fully. 

Amplify away with the K&K Duotone!

This mandolin includes a built-in K&K Sound Duotone pickup designed for high-quality feedback resistance and a natural-sounding tone when plugging in. The K&K Sound Duotone pickup is handcrafted for mandolins and elegantly simple. Its passive design requires no batteries, which means fewer items to squeeze into your gig bag or case! For optimal tone, pair the K&K system with an amp that’s built for acoustic instruments! Alternatively, you can use a PA, but it is recommended you also use a preamp pedal or similar device when plugging into the low-impedance PAs you’re destined to find in clubs, coffee shops, and houses of worship.
