The GM-70+ is all solid wood F style with carved top. Traditional bluegrass punch and shop adjusted for excellent playability. The tone, playability, and workmanship will equal or surpass any other Pacific Rim made mandolins. This professional mandolin has the highest grade materials including ebony fingerboard and bridge, solid spruce top, solid maple back, gold-plated hardware, genuine abalone inlay and a gorgeous finish.
Each GM-70+ undergoes complete professional set up in our shop before delivery. To increase tone we sand the bridge feet for perfect fit with the top and add a damper under the tailpiece cover to eliminate any rattle or overtones on string length behind the bridge. To assure the best playability and lowest action we level and polish frets, adjust the truss rod, oil the fingerboard, adjust slots in the nut and bridge, and electronically intonate the bridge. This attention to detail assures every GM-70+ is of excellent tone and the lowest possible string action!
