Randy Wood Mandolins

Legendary luthier Randy Wood will build one of his professional grade mandolins just for you!

For the last three decades, Randy Wood has administered repair and restoration to countless original Loar signed F-5s and built his own instruments in that classic style. These beautiful handmade instruments are in our opinion the finest sounding Blue Grass mandolins made today.

New Randy Wood Prototype.  Randy has designed the ultimate mandolin of his career, complete with extraordinary wood selection, oil varnish finish, hide glue assembly, fern perghead inlay, hand engraved silverplated hardware, Waverly tuners.  We now have the prototype of this new model in stock. Now available for $12,500
