Bulas Carpathian Spruce/Curly Maple Gloss Tobacco Sunburst F-Style Mandolin #6116

This Bulas F-style mandolin has the kind of handcrafted character players love, starting with a master grade Carpathian spruce top that delivers a clear and lively response. The curly maple back, sides, and neck add punch and projection, giving the instrument plenty of power when you dig in while still keeping a sweet edge for more melodic playing. The tobacco sunburst under a high gloss nitro finish brings out the depth of the maple and gives the mandolin a warm, classic look.

The ebony fingerboard feels smooth and confident under the hand, shaped with a comfortable compound radius and paired with a 29 millimeter nut width that makes the neck feel approachable for a wide range of players. White mother of pearl dots keep things clean and traditional, while the hummingbird inlay adds a nice touch of artistry. Light creme ABS binding frames the top, back, fingerboard, and peghead, giving the instrument a finished and elegant presentation without going over the top.

Schaller tuners with ebony buttons and satin nickel hardware round out a setup built for reliability and smooth tuning. The Bulas tailpiece adds a sturdy and classic anchor point for the strings. The tone is focused, punchy, and well-balanced, making this a strong choice for players who want clarity and warmth in the same instrument. It includes a Gator GL-Mandolin light case for easy protection on the go.
