Bulas Standard Carpathian Spruce/Curly Maple Tobacco Gloss Sunburst F-Style Mandolin #5112

The Bulas Standard F-Style Mandolin captures the heart of traditional European luthiery, offering a sound and feel that any mandolin enthusiast will appreciate. Handcrafted with a Master Grade Carpathian spruce top and beautifully figured curly maple back and sides, this instrument delivers a balanced tonal character with a clear, articulate response and plenty of warmth in the low end. The Tobacco Sunburst finish, paired with satin nitrocellulose lacquer and a gloss front, gives this mandolin a classic stage-ready look that’s both elegant and understated. Playability is smooth and effortless thanks to its 5.5"–12" compound radius ebony fretboard, featuring white mother-of-pearl dot markers and a comfortable 29 mm nut width. The craftsmanship extends to every detail, including light crème binding on the body, neck, and peghead, all finished with precise care. Gotoh tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability, while the custom Bulas tailpiece and nickel hardware add both reliability and a touch of refinement. Every Bulas mandolin reflects the passion and precision of European hand-building, and this F-Style model stands as a perfect example of that dedication. It’s the ideal instrument for the discerning player looking for vintage tone, modern playability, and heirloom-level craftsmanship. Includes a Gator GL-Mandolin Light Case for protection and transport.
