The GM-80 F-style mandolin pairs classic appointments with a clean, modern feel, offering clear response and comfortable playability in a lightweight package. A solid Sitka spruce top provides strong projection and balance, matched with curly maple back and sides for focus, definition, and visual appeal. The satin cherry burst finish keeps the instrument feeling fast and broken-in from the first note.
An ebony fingerboard with traditional inlay and 24 frets supports accurate, confident playing across the full range, while the adjustable ebony bridge allows for precise action setup. Gold-plated hardware, F-style tuners, and a cast mandolin tailpiece round out the instrument with a timeless, understated look. Finished with a ZeroGlide nut and a two-way adjustable truss rod, each GM-80 is set up in Gold Tone’s Titusville, Florida shop to ensure consistent tone and reliable playability. A fitted case is included.
