Designed in collaboration with one of America’s finest mandolin players, “Lady Moon” Eva Trout, this instrument draws inspiration from the old beetle back mandolin she treasures, capturing the warmth and woody character of a beloved old-world instrument.
At the heart of the octave lies a Thermo-Cured solid Sitka spruce top, carefully torrefied to emulate the earthy warmth and responsiveness of a seasoned instrument. The mahogany back and sides add focus and balance, giving the Lady Moon Signature Octave the tonal tools to add depth to all your melodic expressions. The flat-top design offers a softer attack and fuller resonance, emphasizing its natural overtones.
Visually, every detail reflects Eva’s distinctive touch. The custom inlaid luna moth pickguard and pearl crescent-ring fretboard inlays evoke transformation and the quiet glow of moonlight—an homage to her stage name and the natural beauty that inspires her music. A smooth Truetone Satin finish completes the look, offering an elegant feel that enhances both comfort and resonance.
