Sound Pure's Take
An absolute jewel of a mandolin from the masterful craftsmen at Eastman! Clarity, warmth, and projection hold true for any note on the board. For this quality, both in construction and materials (does it get any more classic than Addy/Flamed Maple?), you just can't do better in this price range. Rhythm work punches right through and lead lines seem to take on a life of their own. The look and sound just scream (sing?) vintage Gibson. But we all know how temperamental and downright expensive vintage instruments can be--leave those issues behind you and keep the tone for yourself with this top-of-the-line delight!
