In our years of carrying fine acoustic instruments, mandolins have had an equal share with acoustic guitars. From the highest-end Collings or Weber to the amazing value Eastmans and Summits, we've got something for everybody.
This used 1913 Gibson Mandola is a really beautiful example of an early 'teens Gibson. Its slightly deeper sound makes for a really nice presence in group settings, plus it's just a lot of fun to play. It looks stellar with expected finish checking and some marks where a pickguard use to be installed (now lost to the ages). The inlaid Handel tuners function perfectly and it plays great. All original, aside from a refret with slightly larger wire and a slightly radiused fretboard. This 1913 Gibson Mandola is really special. In Very Good Plus condition with original hardshell case.

This classic Fender Mando Strat is back! This is an updated version of Fender's classic electric mandos of the '50s and '60s and delivers markedly improved playability while maintaining all the fun of the original.
This is so much fun to play - it's an Alder body with a classic strat burst gloss finish and a 13.78" scale. Everything here is built so well - The Maple C shaped neck has a Rosewood fretboard with a 7.25" radius and 24 frets. This mando is loaded with a Fender Special Design pickup with Volume and Tone knobs. You've also got a sweet vintage-style bridge with chrome plate that was made on the actual machine used to produce the original parts over 50 years ago. Even the pickguard is top notch - three ply tortoise style. This Fender Mando Strat is a heck of a lot of fun, and sounds beautiful.

What a beauty! This Collings MF GT Mandolin has it all - sound, playability, and a fantastic look. Beautifully built by our friends at Collings, it has a fully carved and highly resonant Adirondack Spruce top, and Maple back and sides. Its rich, natural sound is supported by tone bar bracing and pours from this instrument. Its timbre is rounded and pure, with a bell-like high end.
Flawlessly finished with a satin nitrocellulose lacquer on the back and a gloss top, the details on this mando are superb. A grained ivoroid binding, inlaid Collings logo on an Ebony peghead veneer, and a seemless sunburst finish all show its expert craftsmanship. It has an original Collings one-piece tailpiece, an adjustable Ebony bridge, and nickel tuners with Ivoroid buttons. Comes with a hard case.

This vintage 1926 Gibson F2 Mandolin is in Excellent condition and comes with the original case. It's hard to imagine that a cleaner, more original example is out there. The original finish is bright and clean, with very minor weather checking and only a few nicks and dings. All the seams are tight, and all the metal and plastic parts are original and in very nice condition. The tailpiece cover shows very minor corrosion. This F2 has not been polished up for sale, it's just that nice! Excellent neck angle and proper bridge height here too. The original case shows minor wear, and is missing the handle, but the green interior is stunning. This Gibson mandolin plays beautifully and has a bright clear tone. Serial #82951. - Jim B..

We are so excited to have this Clark F5 Mandolin in the store. This mando was handmade in Boise, Idaho by luthier Austin Clark, and the quality of his craftsmanship is easy to see, and even easier to hear. It sounds incredible. The tone is very balanced and is equally at home with individual note fiddle tune playing, or a solid rhythm chop.
Clark has gained a reputation as the builder of very fine mandolins and archtop guitars for good reason. He only uses the most select materials, as is apparent when inspecting and playing this beautiful F5. The back, sides and neck are broad flamed Maple, the top is select Red Spruce, and the fingerboard is Ebony. The varnish finish adds depth and color to the sunburst stain. The satin engraved tailpiece gives a subtle compliment to the excellent fit and finish throughout. Hardshell case included with this Clark F5 Mandolin.

Here with a solid Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, and a Rosewood fingerboard. This Gold Tone Mandola plays very well.

This vintage 1920s Gibson F4 Mandolin is quite the player. Made sometime in the 20s, we can't pinpoint the exact year because the serial number is too faded to read. But its vintage sound is unmistakeable, with a rich, woody tone and a sweet high end. It has had some work done, including a replacement adjustable bridge, replacement tuners, and a repaired top crack (see photo). Beautiful color, a smooth neck, and pristine headstock inlay. This 1920s Gibson F4 Mandolin comes with its very worn original hard case. $4,500. Consignment item. Sorry, shipping not included.
