Gold Tone GM-50+ A-Style Acoustic/Electric Mandolin with Gig Bag

This A-style mandolin with a solid top is a real eye - catcher. It pays homage to the popular mandolins that were played by countless enthusiasts in clubs and orchestras back in the early 1900s. The high - gloss tobacco sunburst finish on its curly maple back, sides, neck, and carved solid spruce top is reminiscent of those classic Midwestern US mandolins. With an installed chop saddle pickup, it's ready to meet the needs of modern musicians. The fretboard is bordered with white celluloid, and the adjustable bridge ensures great playability. Gold Tone's professional setup guarantees excellent tone. It's available in a left - handed version. Specifications include a maple neck, solid spruce top, curly maple back and sides, an ebony fingerboard, and much more. An HDMA hard case is optional, and a gig bag is included.

Using your Gold Tone GM - 50+ mandolin is a breeze. First, tune it to GDAE using the 4 inline deluxe tuners. Whether you're playing acoustically or plugging it in with the chop saddle pickup for an electric sound, it'll perform great. When you're done playing, put it in the included gig bag to protect it. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe it down regularly with a soft cloth to keep the high - gloss tobacco sunburst finish looking shiny. Check the adjustable bridge from time to time to make sure it's at the right height for comfortable playing. If you need to adjust the truss rod, do it carefully as it affects the neck's curvature. And if you have the optional HDMA hard case, it provides extra protection during transport.
