Comes complete with padded bag and strap. Blonde finished flat mandolin with soundhole. Nicely figured maple. Really the same mandolin as the Beartooth, just without all the inlay and binding. Made for the Summer 2001 NAMM Show in Nashville to show of custom coloring, this great A-mosel is also made with very highly figured maple, and sounds very very good.
Natural color spruce top with highly figured maple back and sides.
This mandolin is in answer to all the Celtic and Old-Time players who have been left out of the profusion of mandolin offerings in the last few years. These mandolins stack up very favorably against old original Gibson oval-hole mandolins. Natural hand-rubbed finish. Unbound top and back. The photos below show a brown mandolin, but the true color of the Gallatin is a Natural, hand-rubbed finish.
