The Epiphone MM-30S A-Style Mandolin brings old-world sound and construction to the everyman with premium components and a price tag that won't break the bank. Incorporating a flat back that deviated from the traditional bowl-shape of previous mandolins, the MM-30S sports a solid spruce top and mahogany back/sides (a classic pairing) for robust tone without losing the articulation in every note. Perfect for beginners, the reasonable price also makes it a great option for a model to keep around the house to strum.
