Every Super reflects Gold Tone’s dedication to master craftsmanship, combining the finest materials, meticulous construction, and hand-finished beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts back and sides are crafted from highly figured 5A North American Maple, selected for visual beauty and tonal richness. The top is made from high RRV old-growth Swiss or Italian Spruce, carefully hand-scraped in the tradition of violin making. This artisanal process shapes the wood with precision, enhancing resonance, responsiveness, and tonal complexity, while ensuring each instrument carries its own unique voice. The top also features a recurve profile—a subtle arch that allows the soundboard to vibrate more freely, producing rich, full-bodied lows, singing mids, and sparkling treble that projects with clarity in every register. Together, the hand-scraped, recurve top delivers a voice that is at once dynamic, balanced, and expressive, responding to every nuance of the player’s touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mandolin’s warm, vintage-inspired shellac and varnish finish highlights the natural beauty of the woods, while triple ivoroid binding and delicate Abalone and Mother-of-Pearl inlays provide refined visual elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for comfort and stability, the 1-1\/8\" radiused ebony fingerboard features 20 frets and a two-way truss rod for precise setup and smooth playability. A custom brass engraved tailpiece allows effortless string changes and optional muting behind the bridge for tonal versatility. Gotoh tuners, an ebony bridge, and nickel hardware complete the professional look while ensuring reliable tuning and superior projection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a 13-9\/10\" scale length, the Grandmaster Mandolin Super balances comfort and projection, making it equally at home on stage or in the recording studio. Each instrument is meticulously set up in Titusville, FL, and is performance-ready straight out of the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than a mandolin, the Grandmaster Mandolin Super is a work of art. Its hand-scraped, recurve top and masterful construction deliver unmatched clarity, responsiveness, and expressive range, setting a new standard for players seeking elegance, tradition, and uncompromising tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop: High RRV Old Swiss\/Italian Spruce\u003cbr\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides: 5A North American Maple\u003cbr\u003eNeck: 5A North American 3-Piece Maple\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Ebony with 20 frets, Mother of Pearl Inlays\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Triple Ivoroid\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eTailpiece: Brass, custom engraved \"The Gold Tone\"\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Gotoh with Black buttons\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod: Two-way adjustable\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 13-9\/10\" (353mm)\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1-1\/8\" (28.37mm)\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Antique Cremona - Shellac Varnish\u003cbr\u003eHardware: Nickel\u003cbr\u003ePickups: None\u003cbr\u003eCase: Included\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhy Choose The Acoustic Shoppe?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eWhen you choose to purchase from us, you're not just making a transaction; you're investing in an exceptional experience.
