A beautiful hand-crafted F-5 mandolin from North Carolina builder Thomas "Skip" Kelley! With lushly quilted maple back and sides, parallel tone bar bracing, and a red spruce top, this F-style mando can deliver up a solid bluegrass chop and then pivot into sweet, melodic playing on a dime. It plays wonderfully, and has a unique rosewood headplate with classic torch inlay. Condition is excellent, and it comes with a lightweight, molded hardshell case.
