Discontinued, limited-run DGM1 model in excellent condition. Shows minor cosmetic wear and some natural lacquer checking, which has no impact on its playability or tone.
The Eastman DGM1 was part of the “Dawg” Series by Eastman—a collaboration between Eastman and mandolinist David Grisman. This model was based on the design of a rare Corrado Giacomel J-5 style instrument in Grisman's personal collection.
It’s a high-end, hand-carved mandolin built for serious players, crafted from premium tonewoods and finished to very high standards.
