Brand new Pava F5 Pro just into inventory! It's been more than two years since we've had one of these instruments in the shop; and the levels of craftsmanship and finish work we've come to expect on a Pava have matured significantly. The F5 Pro is the top of the Pava line, boasting gorgeous tonewoods and a full-gloss varnish finish much like what one would see on an Ellis instrument. The sound is richly retailed, woody, and powerful. And coupled with the aforementioned aesthetic begs the question, "Is this a dressed-down Ellis?" While your mileage may vary, we think they're more alike than different ~ though the Pava does seem drier, with a woodier midrange. A great bluegrass instrument? Yes. But it's capable of making your entire repertoire sound downright gorgeous. Priced with Superior hardshell case.
