Number 52

This is an arch-top flat-back mandolin in lacewood with a Sitka spruce top. It has F-holes and a pointy body shape.

The top has tone-bar bracing and the back has an X brace. The bolt-on neck has a modern 2-way adjustable truss rod.

The binding is ebony, and the peghead shape echoes the upper point or "horn" on the body. Gold hardware, a lacewood pick guard and simple abalone inlays complete the refined look.

Note: The pick guard depicted in the photos was changed to one which attaches to the neck and has no screws visible on the top, at the request of the buyer.
