Just picked up an Eastman 505 here on the cafe. Holy crap. I'm blown away! I currently play an Eastman 315, which I love! Very simple, understated, not much finish. And dang. The 505 is my wife's mandolin (she wants to jam with me, so that's pretty cool). But I couldn't put that thing down! Super solid!
So, go check one out if you're in the market for an a style.
