Girouard's top-shelf mandolin, modern in both style and sound, with a substantial, wide-open bass and rich, smooth high end.

Girouard's G5 Concert features top-shelf materials and appointments in a modern, understated aesthetic. You'll note the influence of Monteleone, particularly in the open scroll, quite a lovely, refreshingly contemporary look. Sonically, this mandolin packs a serious punch. The low end is big and expansive, the highs quite silken. Coupled with Max's impeccable setup work, the result is a fabulously fun and deeply satisfying playing experience. We don't often get these G5 mandolins in from Girouard often; it is always exciting when we do see one. One quick strum and you'll understand why they cause a stir.
