Eastman MD305 Wide-Neck Adirondack Amberburst Mandolin
Description
The Eastman MD305 Wide-Neck Adirondack Amberburst Mandolin is an individually handcrafted instrument designed for players who demand premium tone with a more spacious, accommodating feel. Upgraded with a solid Adirondack spruce top, it delivers exceptional headroom, high-end punch, and a powerful "chop" that slices through any acoustic mix. The standout feature is its generous 1 3/16" wide nut, providing extra string spacing that makes it a perfect crossover choice for guitarists or players who find standard mandolin necks too cramped.
