Eastman MD515_TV-WN-SB Sunburst

A "Vintage" Spirit in the Tradition of F-Hole Instruments

With its Truetone Vintage Gloss finish and Sunburst aesthetics, the MD515_TV-WN-SB fits within the DNA of F-Style instruments with "f" holes, designed to offer a crisp attack and excellent note-to-note definition. Its choice of solid woods and ebony components (fingerboard and bridge) position it as a performance-oriented instrument, with precise response and a great dynamic range.

For Which Musicians and Styles?

This MD515_TV-WN-SB is particularly suitable for intermediate to advanced musicians seeking a responsive, accurate, and expressive instrument. Its F-Holes format excels in styles where projection and attack are essential: bluegrass, folk, country, Celtic music, as well as any ensemble playing context where you need to "cut through" the mix without forcing.

Sound Characteristics

The solid spruce top provides a bright attack, great touch sensitivity, and a beautiful tonal evolution over time. The solid maple back and sides enhance clarity, note separation, and brightness while maintaining good midrange presence. The F-Holes promote a more direct and focused projection, with tighter lows and precise highs, ideal for fast runs and percussive chords. The adjustable compensated ebony bridge helps optimize intonation and string height according to your attack, while maintaining clean sustain and balanced response.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve the original feel and balance, opt for a D'Addario XT Phosphor Bronze 1140 string set (same reference as the factory setup). With a hard case included, you are already ready for safe transport and storage.
