Product information

If you've been waiting for a dazzling Ellis A5 Reserve, in excellent+ condition, wait no longer!

This mandolin strikes an amazing balance between ornate and reserved, with its lustrous tobacco sunburst and tortoise binding scheme, one-piece maple back, and Weldon Lister engraved tailpiece. The sound is warm, rich, and detailed all at once. These reserve-level Ellis mandolins have a rounder note attack, and while they can certainly hang in a bluegrass setting, they're an excellent choice for a player who transverses a lot of different stylistic ground.

Sold new here in late 2025, the Ellis comes back to us in very good condition. The neck has been treated for a "speed neck" feel. Priced with Calton case.
