Mike Vanden Guitars and Mandolins

SIMON MAYOR MANDOLIN

Simon has been using this long scale mandolin for most of his recordings and live gigs over recent years. The scale length is 360mm rather than the more usual 352mm. This makes access to the higher positions easier. The SM model and the Stretto share the same body dimensions.
This mandolin has projection, volume and clarity. The tone is beautifully sweet and open.
