*Dread-Not Certified Used* Eastman MD515/TV-WN-SB Spruce/Maple Wide Nut Sunburst F-Style Mandolin #2640
The Eastman MD515 Wide Nut F-Style Mandolin delivers impressive tone, classic styling, and upgraded playability in a professional-grade instrument that consistently outperforms its price point. In Excellent Condition, built with a solid carved spruce top and solid maple back and sides, this mandolin produces the strong projection, clarity, and punch that bluegrass players look for in an F-style instrument. The result is a responsive mandolin with crisp note separation and the power to cut through a jam or stage mix with ease.
Ā
One of the standout features of this model is the wider 1 3/16" nut width. That additional spacing provides a more comfortable feel for many players, allowing for cleaner fretting and improved control when playing fast melodies, double stops, or complex chord voicings. Paired with a radiused ebony fingerboard and Jescar fretwire, the neck feels smooth and precise while maintaining the traditional feel that mandolin players expect.
Ā
The MD515 also carries a timeless visual style. The vintage gloss finish gives the instrument a subtly aged look, while ivoroid binding, pearl inlays, and an Eastman cast aluminum tailpiece complete the classic F-style aesthetic. Whether stepping up from an entry-level instrument or adding a dependable workhorse to the collection, the MD515 Wide Nut offers the tone, comfort, and craftsmanship needed for serious playing.
