Moreover, a maple neck and “Soft V” neck profile lend unwavering support to your hands, which makes exploring the lower mandola registers a rapturous affair. Eastman Guitars finalizes the MDA315E mandola with a gig-ready Duotone pickup and a Truetone satin finish that highlights woodgrain and lets tonewoods vibrate fully.

The MDA315E’s solid spruce top is the crux of tone, and it responds instantly to dynamic changes and technique while ensuring notes are loudly projected. Maple back and sides supply vibrant clarity and shimmering overtones that sustain but never overstay their welcome, leaving you free to proceed onto the next chord or riff. Lastly, the MDA315E features a maple neck with a “Soft V” carve that simplifies accurate fretting. Even players at Sweetwater with large hands and fingers endorse this “Soft V” carve, as it tends to ward off strain and prevent cramps while giving proper support for effortless play!F-style body The F-style shape boasts detailed craftsmanship, the most obvious example being the ornate scroll located above the neck joint. The scroll increases the overall mass and, according to many mandola players, provides a thicker tone, competitive volume, and increased sustain. Professional players who stand while playing often favor the F-style body shape because the extra mass helps them perform with even control and accurate technique. Snappy F-hole projection This mandola’s F-style soundholes provide unique percussive traits that pros refer to as the mandolin “chop.” F-holes are especially critical to bluegrass players, as their loud, focused projection keeps your mandolin audible above the fray of a busy ensemble sound.Eastman Guitars: thinking inside the box Many know the Eastman Music Company as a trusted name in the realm of band and orchestra instruments.
