The Eastman MD915 reflects the company's early commitment to hand-carved mandolins built with traditional materials and methods. This 2001 example features a carved spruce top, figured maple back and sides, and the ornate appointments that distinguish the MD915 from Eastman's more understated offerings. Produced during the brand's early years in the American acoustic market, it represents a period when Eastman was quickly gaining recognition for building carved instruments at a level that exceeded expectations for the price. The lightly aged finish and natural patina give this mandolin the look of an instrument that has been played and cared for over the past two decades. It remains a solid example of Eastman's early craftsmanship and the foundation the company established in the carved mandolin world.
Includes deluxe hybrid case.
