Eastman MD-304E-SB

Description

Eastman's options for beginning and intermediate mandolin players have broadened significantly with the introduction of the MD-304E-SB, a reimagining of their 300 Series aimed at players who want something a bit more stage ready with a classic look to boot. Just like the company's already wildly popular MD-305, this A-style mandolin features a carved Sitka spruce top and a maple back, neck, and sides for a punchy and clear sound that have made it a first choice for countless pickers. What the MD-304E-SB brings to the table, however, are a host of upgrades, including a pre-installed K&K Mandolin Twin internal piezo pickup, giving the instrument a natural and true-to-life tone when plugged in. The oval soundhole makes it a great tool for old time and Celtic music, and it's hard not to love the vintage-inspired sunburst finish, too. Included in the price is an Eastman padded gig bag.
