Solid woods throughout, including a fine spruce top and attractive curly maple back, produce a fine full sound at a fraction of the cost of a pre-war Gibson A model. Modestly priced in their day, Strad-O-Lins are known for sounding "better than they ought to" and are among the best values in a solid wood, American-made vintage mandolin.
