Description of Ashbury Style S Deluxe Mandolin

A lovely instrument with a good full sound and great sustain. Versatile, this instrument can be played softly for celtic music or played more vigorously for bluegrass etc. The mandolin has a wider fingerboard than most, being 30mm at the top nut. This makes it more comfortable for guitar players or those used to the wider fingerboard common in handmade mandolins. Design by top UK mandolin Luither Phil Davidson. Built in Veitnam.

About our Mandolins

Our instruments come with a full professional set-up!

We never send instruments out straight from the box. Some of the less expensive folk instuments come from the factory set-up up poorly and strung up with cheap inferior strings. When the instruments arrive at the shop we replace the strings with a much higher quality set and give the instrument a full set-up, making all adjustments necessary so that the instrument plays as well as possible.

Things included in the set-up are: New strings, neck relief, action at nut and bridge, intonation and fret profiling.

We also restring all of our mandolins with a fresh set of strings before dispatch (11 gauge on most mandolins, 10 guage on beginner models).

Your mandolin will be delivered to you setup, tuned and ready to play!
