Bourgeois M5-A-SB Aged-Tone Adirondack/Maple Sunburst A-Style Mandolin #9102

The Bourgeois M5-A-SB marks a special milestone as the very first Bourgeois A-style mandolin released in a sunburst finish. Built with the same meticulous craftsmanship that has redefined the modern mandolin world, this instrument blends vintage inspiration with Bourgeois’ trademark precision and tone. At its heart is an aged tone Adirondack spruce soundboard, paired with aged tone European maple for the back, sides, and neck. This wood combination gives the mandolin a voice that is crisp and articulate, with plenty of projection and a warm, ringing sustain that holds up in any setting. The sunburst high-gloss finish highlights the maple’s natural figure and brings a timeless character to the instrument’s appearance. The ebony fingerboard and bridge provide durability and smooth playability, while the Waverly Golden Age tuners and custom engraved Bill James tailpiece ensure stability and elegance down to the finest detail. With a comfortable 13 7/8" scale length and a bone nut cut to 1 5/32", this mandolin feels fast and responsive under the fingers. Delivered in a Loar-style rectangular hardshell case, the M5-A-SB is not only a landmark in Bourgeois’ mandolin line but also a serious performance instrument built to inspire for decades.
