Like the Ibanez mandolins of yesteryear, this M615 A-Style mandolin offers the highest standard of craftsmanship and tonality, while offering it at a price that any beginner or working musician can afford. Built with quality components and desirable features, this 8-string is a welcome addition to any instrument collection that won't break the bank. Built on the teardrop A-style platform, the M615 mandolin features a mahogany body offering rich lows and pristine sustain. The rosewood fretboard promotes the clear sustain and tonal clarity that has made Ibanez a household name in the mandolin realm. Additional appointments include chrome hardware and a natural open pore finish, and a chrome mandolin tuner with pearloid button.
