Mandolin for sale

This mandolin is one of the 4th generation Pancake mandolins.  It has a lightweight King Billy Pine top, braced similar to a classical guitar but with carbon fiber reinforcement.    It has highly figured Blackwood back and sides, some of the best Blackwood to come from Tasmania.  With the King Billy Pine top, the sound is loud and responsive with excellent tone.  I think it is the best sounding Pancake mandolin to date.

Woods are - KIng Billy Pine top, Fiddleback Balckwood back and sides, Blackwood neck, Indian Rosewood bindings, NSW Ironwood fingerboard (12in radius, 29mm wide at the nut), 13 & 7/8 inch scale length, Schaller GrandTune satin pearl tuners with Ebony knobs and solid Ebony one piece 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 white opal, and the headstock inlay is Huon Pine..  There is no need for a USA import permit and wildlife paperwork nor Lacey act paperwork.  However there is a 10% tariff payable before I can ship to the USA.

Sound clips coming soon.
