2020 Ellis A5 Tradition

2020 Ellis A5 Tradition in excellent condition. Very minimal signs of use that require close scrutiny to notice. This is one of only six total A5 Tradition models made.

The Tradition series was a limited run with a vintage style voicing modeled after David Grisman's Loar, hot hide glue construction, and other custom vintage touches. This is an absolutely incredible mandolin with a wide open voice, beautiful depth, crisp clarity, and unsurpassed balance in every register. The aesthetic and artistry on display in this instrument is exemplary of this modern master of mandolin construction and his decades in pursuit of perfection.
