I'd be curious to hear both aswell

Thanks everyone for the info so far. . I took a chance on the 2011 Md815v
The best Eastman I've owned was a 2011 Md515

Congrats buddy

Forgot to mention I'm looking at both used a 2011 & 2019 Md815

Yes sir I definitely agree with you on the used and older wood. I love vintage Martin's and Gibson banjos. Far as the Eastman goes I've just read some of the older ones was hit it miss on getting a...

I know some of the Kentuckys I have played the newer ones have been stellar.

I'm getting ready to purchase a Eastman and have read some older threads that say they have came a long way. Let's I'm looking at a used 2011 vs a 2019 Md815 which would be better to get? Thx

How have you tweaked your 615? How you like it? How does it compare to the Silverangel ? Thx

I may try that. I think I even have some Evo wire left. .

Yea I know that feeling. Wish I had a few guitars back that I've sold.

I finally got a Eastman md515 that blew my socks off. First 315 and 515 I had I really liked but this one is something else. I believe it's a 2011. Meanwhile my J Bovier 2014 FT is my current...

Also what tops did these have? Thx

I had one of the newer km150s and was leaps and bounds above the older Kentuckys in the same price. Sounded really great honestly.. my question is a Km160 from 2016 gonna be made to the same...

I believe they put a KM150 label inside this mado by mistake. Lol

This thing is honkin!! I got it on a recent trade and have had my mind blown. Ive set this mado up basically the same as my...

Yes thats what im talking about. I'll have to look up some homemade plans!

Thx for the feedback.

Appreciate the feedback thx.

Trying to add a pic

I can find plenty of info and pics of Washburn A mando M1S but nothing in the M1SV. Are they the same price/specs other than the finish? Any help appreciated. Thx

Couldn't help but comment on this old tread.... I purchased a 2010 Loar 700. I love it. I have a CA bridge, new frets, speed neck, and removed alot of the thick finish. Been trying different strings...

No just bought one used and traded a banjo for the other mando. From there I kept selling and buying another used. Keeping the one I liked best of the two. Definitely been fun and addicting.

Id...

Well fairly new to mandolin. So far I've had

The Loars a 590,600,700
Kentucky 620,650
Eastman 315,515
Custom WV made The Bluegrass F style (not under 1K) but set it up for a fella. Prob the...

I love a instrument with mojo!! A pic of one of my favorite D28s ive owned.

Thx for all the info. I sanded a bit more and got it looking better.

Yea I think some of its that I have sanded way too much off. It was my first time fitting one. Ive played with it and sanded 3 different times so I'd say I've taken off too much.
