Red Valley Mandolins are handcrafted in Boise, Idaho with all the care and attention to detail that should go into something as personal as a musical instrument.

James Wilson has been building mandolins and mandolin family instruments since 1996, with the goal of creating instruments of the highest standard in craftsmanship, aesthetic, tonal quality and playability. Whether a seasoned mandolin player or picking up a mandolin for the first time, Red Valley offers a great value in handcrafted instruments.

The AMW model features a unique wide-bodied design - the deeper sides increasing volume achieving a rich full tone. This particular example featuring a maple back combined with a mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard. Hardly used, this example comes to us in next to new condition. Includes original tweed Crossrock hardshell case.
