Eastman Guitars ER-M Chambered Electric Mandolin - Goldburst

Chambered Electric Mandolin with Maple Top, Mahogany Body, Maple Neck, Ebony Fingerboard, and 1 Humbucking Pickup - Goldburst

Handcrafted for Electrifying Performance

Mandolins built by Eastman Guitars feature solid tonewoods and an array of striking handcrafted appointments. The ER-M chambered electric mandolin is uniquely outfitted with a semi-hollowbody mahogany body, a maple top, and a custom humbucking pickup for electrifying performance. The mastermind behind the ER-M is none other than esteemed luthier Otto D'Ambrosio, whose creations are played by Grammy winners such as John Mayer and Bruce Springsteen! Eastman Guitars finalizes the ER-M with a gorgeous Truetone gloss finish, pearl thumbnail inlays, ebony control knobs, and other solid wood appointments for stunning looks and fluid function. With the ER-M chambered electric mandolin from Sweetwater, you can realize an entirely new realm of sounds, onstage or off.

Solid mahogany and maple

Solid tonewoods give the ER-M rich character for amplification, not to mention acoustic fortitude that’s perfect for unplugged practice. The ER-M’s one-piece mahogany body is the crux of tone. Electric guitarists have long favored mahogany due to its lasting sustain and rich voice. The ER-M’s chambered semi-hollowbody is exceptionally resistant to feedback, which allows you to achieve unprecedented amplified levels or even pair the ER-M with effects like reverb, overdrive, or delay. Also onboard is a maple top that sweetens mahogany’s voice with brightness and snap. Lastly, the ER-M features a maple neck with an ebony fingerboard laced with pearl thumbnail inlays for effortless fretting and clear visibility onstage.

Legendary performance from a custom Lollar pickup

Otto D’Ambrosio’s wisdom makes itself known at every point of the ER-M’s design, but his savvy is most evident with the ER-M’s Lollar humbucking pickup. Lollar is a legendary name in the world of boutique guitar pickups, and that reputation carries over in this case. The ER-M’s humbucker is not a guitar pickup shoehorned into a mandolin; instead, it is custom-made with pole spacing for mandolin strings and pickup windings that are tailored for the mandolin’s voice. Most importantly, this pickup’s humbucking design wards off unpleasant noise without introducing feedback or hum. You also get volume and tone controls for shaping output and brightness to taste, and the control knobs are carved from hardwood ebony for a deluxe look!
