Brand: Ratliff
Instrument Categories: Mandolins, SOLD
The Ratliff R5-G mandolin is built by hand in Church Hill, Tennessee, part of a small lineup of F style and A style mandolins. The company was originally started to produce left-handed F-Style instruments, but has grown to produce right hand models, and offer both F hole and oval hole verions.
The Ratliff R5-G uses a carved Sitka Spruce top paired with flame maple for the sides, neck, and carved back, and ebony for the bound fingerboard. The headstock has a tasteful floral inlay along with the Ratliff logo, and the instrument is finished in a nitrocellulose lacquer tobacco sunburst.
This Ratliff R5-G dates to December 16, 2015 and is in excellent condition. It has a fresh setup by The Twelfth Fret Repair Shop and plays very well. The -G designation refers to gold plated hardware. An Allen custom tailpiece and Breke bridge have been added. A rectangular hard shell case is included.
