Pre-Owned 2008 Hinde F-Style Mandolin With Case

An amazing deal on a of the line handcrafted American made mandolin!  If you’re looking for an instrument that was handmade from start to finish, by a master craftsman…with every attention to detail and quality, then this is your instrument.    

Condition is very good for being nearly 20 years old.  Minor fret wear but a long way from needing anything done in that regard.  No top sinkage, some minor and normal play wear is about all you could knock it for. Very comfortable low profile neck, easy action.  Perfect tone and playability, dry and woody chop, crystal clear single notes, great balance and depth of tone, insanely responsive to even the slightest touch.  It just plays itself.  You’d be hard pressed to find a better mandolin with that dry old traditional sound anywhere for this price.  Not thing construction wise worth noting is the spacing of the strings at the nut isn’t visually perfect, but it doesn’t cause any playing issues.  Other than that it’s a real gem.

Includes full pro setup, free shipping within the lower 48 US, includes Hoffee case!
