This solid-top A-style mandolin evokes the hugely popular instruments that thousands of mandolin enthusiasts played in clubs and orchestras during the early twentieth century. The sunburst finish on its curly maple back, sides, and neck and on the carved solid spruce top is a tribute to those historic mandolins from the Midwestern US. At the same time, the installed transducer pickup prepares it for the demands of a modern musician. The fretboard is bound with white celluloid, and the period-correct bridge is adjustable in height. Gold Tone's expert shop setup guarantees that each GM-50+ has excellent tone and playability.

This is an open-box model that was on display in our shop but it's brand new and comes with a full warranty.
