{"title":"Eastman Mandolins","description":"\u003cp\u003eEastman mandolins are widely respected for providing solid, hand-carved construction at a more accessible price point than traditional American built instruments. Leveraging their background in violin making, the company uses premium materials like solid spruce and maple, finished with nitrocellulose lacquer which allows for better resonance. Their catalog, ranging from the entry-level 300 series to the higher-end 800 series, offers both A-style and F-style models that deliver the punch and clarity needed for bluegrass and folk. Eastman’s commitment to traditional techniques over mass-market automation makes them a highly regarded choice for players seeking a reliable, well-made instrument without a significant financial leap.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"eastman-md505-2687","title":"Eastman MD505","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Eastman MD505 A style mandolin features fully hand-carved top and back of premium spruce and figured maple, bound and radiused ebony fingerboard, and a high-gloss, vintage-styled, Nitrocellulose lacquer finish. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIvoroid top and fingerboard bindings, chrome-plated cast tailpiece, adjustable ebony bridge, bone nut.
