Fantastic tone on this none-more-red A5 Studio from Giroaurd. Lightweight build, quick response, and an open, punchy sound define this A. The lovely cayenne color reminds us of an old Phoenix mandolin, as does the densely flamed maple back and sides. The unbound body offers a minimalist aesthetic that only further accentuates the high quality of the materials and workmanship.

If you on the hunt for a great value in a luthier-built mandolin—especially for an instrument that can happily cover a wide range of styles with ease—look no further. This mandolin comes to us used, a 2012 build in very good condition, with light wear at the periphery of the top and back.

Priced with hard case.
