The Eastman MD515 Wide Nut F-Style Mandolin brings serious tone, vintage style, and upgraded playability to the table—all at a price point that punches way above its weight. Built with a solid carved spruce top and solid maple back and sides, this mandolin delivers the kind of projection and clarity expected from instruments costing twice as much. What sets this one apart is the 1 3/16" nut width. That extra spacing offers improved comfort for players needing a bit more room for clean fretting, especially helpful for fast melodies, double stops, and chord work. Combined with a radiused ebony fingerboard and Jescar fretwire, it feels smooth and precise right out of the box. The vintage gloss finish gives it an aged, broken-in vibe, while the cast tailpiece, ivoroid binding, and open-gear tuners complete the traditional F-style look. Whether stepping up from a beginner instrument or adding a reliable workhorse to the collection, the MD515 Wide Nut is built to handle stage time, jam sessions, and studio work with ease. Includes a protective hardshell case.
