About This Mandolin

Eastman MD515/V Mandolin with hand rubbed Classic Antique Varnish

The Eastman MD515/V mandolin has a look, style, and sound all its own. It uses the same Antique Varnish that is hand applied to their world-class violins.

This F-Style, F-Hole model features a Solid Spruce Top and Solid Maple back and sides. It delivers a bright percussive chop, great for group jams.

Eastman's Antique Varnish Series has something for everyone. The finish is made to look "Vintage" and the hardware is from the "Relic Series" - you will have a new mandolin with an old vibe. From solid body electrics to mandolins, you’ll have a hard time not falling in love with one of these handmade instruments.

** IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ ** This instrument has gone through the Eastman Aging Process; therefore, it will look used.
