From American Tradition to Modern Spirit

Part of the "Americana" series, this F-Style mandolin embraces the aesthetics and punch of historic mandolins while adding contemporary details. The vintage-look finishes and onboard electronics place it at the crossroads of vintage and modern, ideal for both stage and studio.

For Which Musicians and Styles?

Suited for intermediate to advanced players as well as discerning enthusiasts, it excels in bluegrass, folk, country, and acoustic music where precise attack and projection are essential. Its F-style body, short neck, and fast fingerboard facilitate rapid runs, double stops, and characteristic mandolin tremolos.

Sound

The solid flamed maple top delivers a clear attack, excellent articulation, and sparkling highs, while the solid mahogany back and sides add body and warmth to the midrange. The ebony bridge optimizes vibration transfer for firm sustain. The double courses G-G, D-D, A-A, E-E provide the typical choral tone, both precise and punchy. Plugged in, the Magus X/U rechargeable system reproduces a natural and consistent sound, ready for the stage.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain performance and reliability: a mandolin string set .011-.015-.026-.040 (loop-end) identical to the original setup, a clip-on tuner (universal compatibility) for quick tuning, and a case humidifier to stabilize the instrument's humidity inside the included "Croco Leather" case.
