Construction

This Fender Concert Tone A 52E's teardrop shaped body has a spruce top. Spruce wood allows for a beautifully shimmering sound that is further embellished by the mahogany sides and back, and the 21-fret rosewood fretboard. The nato neck has a modern V profile, as well as a dual action truss road that allows for even minute adjustments. Furthermore, the height-adjustable rosewood bridge and four durable open geared tuners help keep the instrument in tune. Finally, amplification is handled by the Piezo pickup in the bridge.

Concert Tone A 52E: elegant finish

Besides their distinctive sound, mandolins are also known for their elaborate, elegant designs. Luthiers used them to display their artisanship to the world. While type A mandolins might be the most simple in design, the Concert Tone A 52E has been finished with the greatest of care. Its body is decorated with 4-ply bindings and the headstock features a beautifully rendered Fender logo. Finally, the gorgeous position markers and tortoise pickguard round out the excellent design features on this mandolin.
