Solid walnut back and sides, rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Pearl Epiphone in headstock and pearl dots in the fingerboard. The walnut gives this mando a warm low end, but still retains the crisp clear highs that you want from a mandolin. Includes a newer hardshell case that fits really well. The Tortoid pickguard is in great shape and perfectly positioned for a finger rest. It plays well up and down the neck except on the G string past the 12th fret. At that point it begins to buzz and we can not remedy it, but it plays impeccably clean everywhere else.
