Epiphone MM-30S AS Antique Sunburst A-Style

Based on the early instruments with which the eponym and founder of the world-famous brand Epiphone, Epi Stathopoulos, once started his business, the Epiphone MM-30S A-Style Mandolin convinces with its traditional design and its powerful sound. Furthermore, the instrument is already equipped with a solid top and features carefully crafted hardware. The mandolin is refined by a thin high gloss varnish with an antique sunburst finish.

Construction and woods

To enrich the sound with powerful and defined mid and treble frequencies, the arched top is made of solid spruce, while the body is made of laminated mahogany. At the same time, the Okoume neck with a Pau Ferro fretboard has a very accommodating feel thanks to a combination of the 356 mm scale length and a slim 27 mm nut width.

Design and Hardware

As usual for an A-style mandolin, the top is equipped with two generous F-shaped soundholes, in the middle of which a bridge made of Okoume is positioned. Furthermore, a tortoise pickguard is attached to the top, proudly bearing the maker's initials. Golden open-gear tuners round off the appearance in a very tasteful way and also guarantee precise tuning of the 8 strings.
