"Maggie May"
Rod Stewart would be proud at this delightful little mandolin, a real collector's or musician's piece. With a body made of exotic ziricote wood, it features a Honduran rosewood burl (HRB) fretboard and mustache, trimmed out with inlaid brass frets, bridge, and tuning pegs, mounted on a hardwood base, and encased in a glass dome. This is Old World hand craftsmanship at its best, using no computerization or chemical finishes.
