The Dean Tennessee AE is an "A" style mandolin with modern electronics. The Tennessee is constructed out of traditional materials such as a select spruce top, mahogany back and sides, mahogany neck, and a 20 fret rosewood fingerboard. Grover tuners make a cinch to get in tune and stay there. A Dean single coil pickup has controls for volume and tone so you can plug-in the mandolin and be heard in any setting. Case sold separately.
