The front board of this mandolin is made of solid Sitka spruce, while the sides and back board are made of laminated maple. The neck is maple and partially runs through the body of the instrument, giving the mandolin's tone excellent sustain. It is fitted with a rosewood fingerboard with twenty-two frets, dots are used to orient the fingerboard.
The strings are mounted in a nickel-plated brass fingerboard, with open tuning mechanisms for tuning. The zero fret is made of Graph Tech's TUSQ artificial ivory, which only enhances the sustain of the tone. The body is protected by a tortoiseshell pickguard.
The mandolin comes in a case.
Mandolinists should definitely beware when looking at this instrument.
