The Ovation Pro Series Mandolin features a hand-selected solid-spruce top with lightweight, Mando-Quintad bracing designed to enhance punch and projection. Ovation’s pioneering multi-soundhole design enhances string vibration and sustain by improving soundboard efficiency. With its roundback composite body, the Ovation Mandolin offers more acoustic volume and cutting power than expensive flatback models. The instrument’s upper-bout soundholes are inlaid with exotic hardwoods, and a cutaway offers full access to the sleek, satin-finished 5-piece mahogany/maple neck and ebony fretboard. A custom high-output pickup and special version of the OP-24+ preamp give the Ovation Mandolin unparalleled amplified tone.
