Mandolin for sale

This mandolin is a 4th generation Pancake mandolin.   It has a very lightweight top, braced similar to a classical guitar but with carbon fiber reinforcement.  It has an Engelmann Spruce top and Blackwood back, one of my favourite wood combinations..  It incorporates all the innovations of the 2nd and 3rd generation as well as the newer 4th generation developments.  This mandolin is loud and resonant and with a lovely sweet sound.

Woods are - Engelmann Spruce top, Blackwood back and sides and neck, Indian Rosewood bindings, Macassar Ebony fingerboard (12in radius, 29mm wide at the nut), 13 & 7/8 inch scale length, Schaller GrandTune nickel tuners and solid one piece Ebony bridge.  Varnish finish.  It comes with Thomastic strings installed.  Price includes a case.

Note:  This mandolin cannot have an internal pickup installed because of the way it is braced.

For my American customers, note that this mandolin does not have any shell inlay.  The fingerboard marker dots are opal, and the headstock inlay is European Maple.
