This solid-top A-style mandolin evokes the hugely popular instruments played by thousands of mandolin enthusiasts in clubs and orchestras during the early twentieth century. This is the left-handed model. The sunburst finish on its curly maple back sides and neck and on the carved solid spruce top is a tribute to those historic mandolins from the Midwestern US while the installed transducer pickup prepares it for the demands of a modern musician. The fretboard is bound with white celluloid and the period-correct bridge is adjustable for height. Gold Tone s expert shop setup guarantees that each GM-50+ has excellent tone and playability.
