Mandolin for sale

This mandolin is a 4th generation flattop mandolin.  It has a very lightweight top, braced similar to a classical guitar but with carbon fiber reinforcement.  The top is about 30% lighter and gives more volume and improved tone.  It is a flattop mandolin in the style of a Lyon and Healy asmmetric 2 point.. Sound is powerful, clear and clean, a very versatile mandolin.

Woods are - Red Spruce top, Birdseye Maple back and sides, Mahogany neck, Ebonty bindings, Macassar Ebony fingerboard (12in radius, 30mm wide at the nut), 13 & 3/4 inch scale length, Schaller GrandTune satin pearl tuners with Ebony knobs and solid Ebony one piece bridge.  It has my new custom made tailpiece with engraved Ebony cover in the style of the Lyon and Healy tailpieves.  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.wood.  There is no need for a USA import permit and wildlife paperwork but may require Lacey act paperwork depending on the exchange rate.
