A-Style Acoustic Mandolin
My A-style acoustic mandolin is available with your choice of either traditional F-holes for a bright, punchy projection, or an oval soundhole for a warmer, more resonant voice. This model is essentially a symmetrical version of the renowned F5 mandolin, sharing its core construction principles to deliver exceptional volume and clarity.
Crafted with maple throughout the back, sides, and neck, it boasts visual depth but also contributes to the instrument's clear, vibrant tone and excellent sustain. For the belly, you have the option of selecting either spruce, known for its powerful projection and headroom, or cedar, which offers a quicker break-in period and a richer, warmer character. Both the back and top plates are tuned using a graduated thicknessing method. This advanced technique ensures optimal vibration and tonal balance across the instrument's entire range, producing a professional-grade sound.
