The Flatiron A5-JR Mandolin captures the essence of traditional American mandolin craftsmanship in a stripped-down, stage-ready design. Built in Bozeman, Montana, this model features a carved spruce top paired with maple back and sides, producing a rich, woody tone with crisp projection and balanced warmth. Its hand-graduated top and back contribute to excellent responsiveness and dynamic range, while the sunburst gloss finish highlights the natural beauty of the tonewoods. Despite its “Junior” name, this A5 delivers professional-level performance suited for bluegrass, folk, and acoustic ensembles alike.

A maple neck paired with an ebony fingerboard offers smooth playability and precise note definition, while vintage-style tuners and an ebony adjustable bridge provide rock-solid stability and tonal balance. The A5-JR is also fitted with an under-bridge piezo pickup and endpin jack, making it easy to amplify without sacrificing its acoustic character. With its mix of vintage tone, modern reliability, and understated elegance, this Flatiron delivers everything discerning mandolin players love about handcrafted American instruments.
