Eastman mandolins were recommended to us by our friend Shaun Drey. We've been impressed with the craftsmanship in every model we have played.
This model is similar to the 600 series but with the following upgrades: Gold or nickel plated hardware, highly flamed maple, back and sides, 3-ply binding on the headstock and body, as well as side binding.
The 800 model mandolins are handcarved from solid select spruce with highly flamed maple backs and sides with full ivoroid bindings. Features include - ebony fingerboard, adjustable bridge, gold plated Schaller tuners with mother-of- pearl buttons and are finished in classic, classic-sunburst, or sunburst finishes. Blonde mandolins are available at a 20% upcharge. In the style of Lloyd Loar's mandolins of the 1920's. Oblong case with accessory compartments included. |
