Its top is meticulously hard-carved from Sitka Spruce, ensuring dynamic sound and projection that resonate through every strum. The 2-piece Quarter Sawn Figured Red Maple back not only showcases a stunning grain but also fortifies the mandolin against surface checking and warping, guaranteeing durability and longevity.

With the Gibson Wide Nut specifications and a radiused fingerboard, fretting becomes a breeze, enabling effortless playability.
