Ellis A-5 2010s, Sunburst

With a master's touch and an artist eye for detail, Tom Ellis uses his over 40 years of experience in instrument building to create heirloom quality works of art. He has spent a great deal of time studying every aspect of the mandolin. It has only been through this research, that he has been able to acquire the best materials and craftspeople to help with the process. Ellis mandolins are built one-at-a-time. Furthermore, Tom personally does all the hand carving, graduating, and neck shaping. In modern times, it could be done differently. However, Tom insists on quality that he can be proud of for generations to come.

This Ellis A-5 lives up to that standard in its tone, appearance, and appointments. Cosmetically, it is in excellent overall condition and features an added pickup, enhancing its versatility. It comes with a tweed hardshell case.
