Ellis A5 Special Diamond Wire (USED, 2022)
This exceptionally clean Ellis A5 Special is a fine example of everything we love about Ellis mandolins - exquisite craftsmanship, attention to detail and, of course, tone! This 2022 build features a gorgeous Diamond Wire headstock inlay, EVO frets and Waverly tuners, and displays few signs of prior handling. Sonically, it's all there - powerful, yet nuanced, with that signature Ellis "pop" on the high strings, and a lovely woodiness and clarity. Priced with a green Calton case!
