Here’s a variation on the famous Eastwood Mandocaster 8-string electric mandolin: limited-edition versions in red or TV yellow finish. Alder body, maple neck and fretboard, 2 single-coil pickups, tone and volume controls. Tele-style bridge is fully adjustable. Both are like new.
      The Mandocaster is a great choice for a beginning or intermediate e-mando player on a budget. Or heck ... if you've seen or heard Chris Thile's mind-bending guest appearance with the Fearless Flyers on "Daddy, He Got a Cessna," it's an Eastwood Mandocaster he's playing. If you want to sound like Chris, all you need is immense talent, 10 years of nonstop practice ... and this mandolin.
     No matter who you are, you'll find this an enjoyable instrument. As the name suggests, Eastwood issued these in a limited run, and they’re offered here for less than the new $549 price. Gig bag included. See more photos of the red or yellow instruments, call 425/772-0231, or for more information. 48-hour approval period. $450 plus shipping.
