The Michael Kelly L DLXE is a beautifully appointed F style mandolin that punches well above its price. With a solid spruce top over a solid maple body, finished in a warm gloss sunburst, it delivers the bright, cutting bark and quick response that make the F style mandolin such a joy for bluegrass, folk and beyond. The built in Fishman System 1 pickup means you can plug straight in whenever you need to be heard.

Michael Kelly has built a strong reputation for offering the looks and tone of far more expensive instruments at a price that keeps playing accessible. You can see that thinking in the details of the L DLXE. The elegant F style body wears tasteful white binding, and the ebony fingerboard is dressed with abalone dot inlays. Gold open gear tuners and an adjustable ebony bridge round it out, so you can set the action exactly how you like it. It makes this mandolin as practical as it is pretty.

This 2023 Michael Kelly L DLXE is in excellent condition. It shows light playing wear in the form of a few scratches scattered across the body and neck, and it looks clean overall. It comes with a hardshell case.

This mandolin has been carefully inspected for condition and playability, then set up to our Gold Standard by a luthier. We make sure it arrives in your hands exactly as it should: sounding its best, playing effortlessly and ready to be enjoyed from the very first note.
