The MD304E’s solid spruce top is the crux of tone, and it responds instantly to dynamic changes and technique while ensuring notes are loudly projected. Maple back and sides supply vibrant clarity and shimmering overtones that sustain but never overstay their welcome, leaving you free to proceed onto the next chord or riff. Lastly, the MD304E features a maple neck with a “Soft V” carve that simplifies accurate fretting. Even players at Sweetwater with large hands and fingers endorse this “Soft V” carve, as it tends to ward off strain and prevent cramps while giving proper support for effortless play!Rounded A-style body Mandolin players have long prized the symmetrical A-style body shape for its durability, comfort, performance, and price! Well-built A-style models are frequently priced more competitively than more ornate F-style body shapes, which makes this a reliable choice for beginners, but also pros who perform above all else. Moreover, as you fret toward the body, the symmetry of the A-style body provides breezy access to more notes on your lowest string.Amplify away with the K&K Duotone! This mandolin includes a built-in K&K Sound Duotone pickup designed for high-quality feedback resistance and a natural-sounding tone when plugging in. The K&K Sound Duotone pickup is handcrafted for mandolins and elegantly simple. Its passive design requires no batteries, which means fewer items to squeeze into your gig bag or case! For optimal tone, pair the K&K system with an amp that’s built for acoustic instruments! Alternatively, you can use a PA, but it is recommended you also use a preamp pedal or similar device when plugging into the low-impedance PAs you’re destined to find in clubs, coffee shops, and houses of worship.
