Gilchrist Mandola 5 Artist 2002, Natural

Steven Gilchrist is a renowned builder, thought by most to be the greatest traditional mandolin builder of our time. These sought after instruments are built in small batches in rural Australia using traditional build methods and the results are inarguably wonderful.This Model 5 Artist is in excellent condition, showing only light finish checking, a touch of patina on the tailpiece, and minor signs of use on the pickguard. The back and sides are crafted from beautifully figured Birdseye Maple, adding both visual appeal and tonal depth. It delivers outstanding sound and comes housed in a white Calton hardshell case for premium protection.
