One-pc Maple back, Maple sides and neck. Select German Spruce top. Radiused Ebony fingerboard with dot inlay. Ebony peghead overlay with elaborate abalone Fern inlay and abalone truss-rod cover. Gold Gotoh tuners with ivoroid buttons. Gold 2-pc engraved Prucha tailpiece. Ebony 2-pc bridge with gold thumbwheels. Multiple tortoise/white/black bindings on top, back, along fingerboard and around peghead.

     These bindings are quite nice, with the white inner strip insuring that the tortoise comes "alive" with color by reflecting the light back thru the tortoise layer. You see the multiple lines on all quarters (sides AND top/back).
     1 1/8" width at nut. Matte nitro-cellulose finish and a beautiful sunburst color.

     Remarkable sound. Anyone who has a Prucha mandolin that is a few years old knows how great they are and how they develop over time. This one has especially good tone even as a brand new mandolin...

     Exc(+) condition. Some slight evidence of former ownership, but no obvious signs of use or player wear. Beautiful "Pecan" sunburst finish. Radiused fingerboard. Double cut fingerboard extension. One-piece figured Maple back with German Spruce top. Ebony fingerboard, peghead overlay and adjustable bridge. Gold hardware. Fully multiple bound with ivoroid/black/ivoroid, on top, back, heelcap, fingerboard and peghead.

     This is a very nice mandolin with well-developed mature tone and a strong professional sound. And... it in great shape!

     Exc condition. Some minor marks here and there, but nothing major.

     Ebony bridge with fossilized ivory saddle. Radiused Ebony fingerboard with dot inlays and traditional extension scalloped. Ebony pickguard, bound with ivoroid/black/ivoroid.

     Bearclaw German Spruce top, old world Czech Maple back, sides and neck. Neck has "Vee" profile. Jaroslav Prucha is celebrated not only for his hand-rubbed dyes and coloration, but also for his hand-cooked Varnish finish.

     This mandolin sounds beautiful. It has a great attack with depth and maturity. Its one of the best mandolins in the store.

     This is a fine mandolin. Workmanship, materials, playability and tone are great. Highly figured Czech Maple back, sides and neck, with select German Spruce top. The Maple looks alive under Mr Prucha's expert finish, with the hues of the sunburst bringing out the depth in the figure. The German Spruce has lots of medulary rays, making the top look very 'silky' and beautiful under the finish..

     Radiused Ebony fingerboard with abalone dot inlays. Fingerboard has traditional extension scalloped, to allow ease of playing in the 'sweet spot'.

     Exc condition. Beautiful mandolin with highly figured Maple back, sides, and neck, with German Spruce top. Tortoise/white/black bindings perfectly blend with the amber tones of the wood. Stylized pearl block inlays in flat Ebony fingerboard. 1 3/32" nut width. Pearl Fern inlay in peghead.

     Prucha has a solid reputation of not only building with highest grade of tone woods, but of also voicing his mandolins in a way that causes them to age very well tonally. Not only are they very strong, with a clear voice, but as they age, the tones mature in a way that gives them all of the power with a beautiful depth of tone.
