mandolin md-3 Body: Maple on alder Neck: Maple Fretboard: Ebony Tuners: Gold, chrome, black Hardware: Gold, chrome, black Color: Solid colors Finish: High gloss Pickups: DS by Bryk Strap buttons: Schaller security lock Case included The solid-body mandolin designed by DS guitar Ltd. is truly an improvement of a long tradition in craftsmanship. Since generations, mandolines of different styles have been available and so we took the chance to enlarge the use of the mandolin by adding our significant new ideas. The solid-body construction gives the player an almost unlimited way of expressing themself, especially in playing live on stage. The limitations of an acoustic instrument are left out but not the tone. International artists are involved in designing this instrument of DS guitar Ltd. which sounds, feels and plays like a "good old mandolin".
