Number 68

This is an archtop 2-point Mandolin with curly maple body and black Sitka spruce top. It has Gibson style "tone bar" bracing for a punchy, Bluegrass sound.

Construction features include the usual user-friendly bolt-on neck. The top has hand tuned tone-bar bracing. The neck has a modern 2-way adjustable truss rod, and the bridge is adjustable. Gold Grover 18:1 micro-tuners provide easy tuning.

Decoration includes the shiny gloss-lacquered black top and curly maple body, set off by Madagascar rosewood binding, headstock, finger-rest and fingerboard, and Paua ablone inlays. Truly a stunning instrument.

The sound is crisp and full, excellent for any style of music .

Price: $2200
