The Pilgrim brand has made a name for itself in the field of stringed instruments by building high quality banjos. However, it has gradually transferred its experience in this field to the manufacture of other stringed instruments, always with the same result: creating very high quality instruments with great sound at affordable prices.
This mandolin has a classic A-shape and resonant F-holes. The instrument is constructed with a spruce soundboard, mahogany back and sides, rosewood fingerboard with 20 frets, and a solid ebony fingerboard, which is normally only found on higher priced instruments. This combination of materials conjures up a very pleasant sound on this mandolin. The Antique Violin Burst lacquer finish is meant to mimic classic designs of old violins and certainly doesn't fall flat.
Overall, this is a very well built and equipped instrument for the money.
