Description

This 2022 Ellis A5 Special mandolin is an excellent example of the quality and craftsmanship from Tom Ellis and Co. Featuring an Adirondack Red Spruce top, paired with a stunning Sugar Maple one-piece back, this A5 Special brings the same materials, specs and finishing as the more expensive F-style models to the Ellis A-style lineup. Here with a pleasant low-end bark that really drives that one piece sugar maple back, you can feel it vibrating, along with a focus and clarity to the note that really rings out.

We rarely describe instruments as being in mint condition, as there's always something, however this A5 Special is as like new as a used instrument gets. Includes the original upgraded custom Ellis branded Calton case.

All our gear comes with a 7-day evaluation period. An extra 24 hours is added on for acoustic instruments during the winter season, to allow the contents to reach room temperature before you open the box. If you are not completely satisfied with the instrument, just return it via your preferred common carrier. Also, we do not send out instruments for evaluation without payment in full. *All B-Stock sale items are in working condition, and are sold as is. All B-Stock sales are final. To return an item please give us a call, or email to receive a return authorization. We ask that you very carefully pack the gear up in its original carton, with all the accessories and paper work included, and ship it back to us via a common carrier (not Uncle Al's Pony Express) to us. Please insure it for the full retail amount. If the item is damaged while in transit, we'll notify you and ask that you file a claim with your preferred shipper. Once the item arrives back to us and we unpack it, we will issue a full credit for the item, less the shipping charges.
