Sound Pure's Take
An elegant F-style mando from Eastman! It features a beautifully deep flame on the carved maple body, and a sturdy, resonant piece of Adirondack on top that has huge potential for projection. The excellent craftsmanship is made apparent in every detail of this mandolin's complex curves and the oil varnish upgrade gives it an authentically vintage feel and sound. If you are looking for an amazing deal on a spectacular hand-carved professional mandolin, look no further because you've found it! Contact Sound Pure today for more information on this
