    Boy, am I a hot and cold Eastman owner.

    The first one I had was a used 504. it had some issues and I sold it after not to long. After that I bought a used 804 blonde at an excellent price and loved it for a while but found the neck a bit heavy and sold it, too. (I eventually got a 1928 Gibson.) A couple of years later I walked into a store and without thinking bought a 305 to use as a second bluegrass instrument. I really liked it but felt that that I shouldn't have spent the money and sold it for what I'd bought it for.

    And now, a year or two later, I've bought another 305. It's used and a much better price and in new condition. It's on it's way and will arrive tomorrow. Will I hang onto this one? I don't know, but I look forward to playing it.

    They are good mandolins, enjoy your new purchase. I bought another Eastman a month ago, it's the 515. I love it!
