Another gorgeous A-style in from Ellis Mandolins! Tom Ellis makes one of the finest Loar-inspired A5's on the market today, and this used Deluxe model certainly does not disappoint! Resonant, responsive, complex... it's all there. With flame maple back and sides, "flame" headstock inlay and a hand-applied varnish finish, this is truly an elegant take on a classic design. A recent build, this mandolin presents very nicely - the frets are in great shape, as is the finish, aside from a few small indentations in the top and some light swirls consistent with a varnish instrument that has been played, but well-cared for. Priced with its original Superior hardshell case!
