Mandolin for sale

This Classical Flattop mandolin is the first of the 4th generation plus.  It is a further development of the 4th generation which after a bit of further development will eventually become the 5th generation.  The modificatioins have certainly worked.  This mandolin is really quite exceptional in the sound department and with the Black Heart Sassafras back is quite stunning.

Woods are - King Billy Pine top, Black Heart Sassafras 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 US import tariff payable before I can ship to the USA.
