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 has a Jarrah back, sides and neck.  This mandolin is very resonant and responsive, and loud with a strong ring.

Woods are - Red Spruce top, Jarrah back, sides and neck, Indian Rosewood bindings, Mulga fingerboard (12in radius, 30mm wide at the nut), 13 & 3/4 inch scale length, Schaller GrandTune black nickel tuners with Ebony knobs and solid Ebony one piece bridge.  It has my custom made tailpiece with engraved Ebony cover.  Varnish finish.  It comes with Thomastic medium 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 Huon Pine, European Maple and Blackwood wood.  There is no need for a USA import permit and wildlife paperwork but Lacey act paperwork may be required.  However, note there is a 10% tariff payable before I can ship to the USA.
