A great-looking mandolin that will sound better with age.
The Epiphone MM-30 features a Solid Spruce top that will actually improve in tone over time, a highly-prized
trait of better acoustic instruments.
Old world heritage
From its humble 19th Century beginnings in Greece with founder Anastasios Stathopoulo, he and his sons took the turn-of-the-century
Manhattan family luthier business into a world-renown fretted instrument maker and innovator. In fact, some of the original
"A. Stathopoulo" round-back mandolins are some of the most prized, rare vintage mandolins in existence. In the late 50's,
another famous fretted instrument company known for mandolins, Gibson, purchased Epiphone and assured the continuance of the
family mandolin legacy.
Time-honored craftsmanship
The Epiphone MM-30 is an easily recognized "A" style or "teardrop" mandolin, expertly constructed with a Mahogany body and
set, Mahogany neck, providing warm acoustic tone. The "bite" if the mandolin's sound is from its Solid Spruce top, which will
only sound better as it matures, as the wood fibres continue to contract and surplus moisture content eveporates. It also
features the traditional floating Rosewood bridge, Rosewood fingerboard, Gold hardware and Tortoise pickguard emblazoned with
the iconic Epiphone "E" and comes in Antique Sunburst finish. It is also available with a built-in bridge piezo pickup as
the MM-30E.
