Here we have a mint condition 2004 Phoenix Mandolins Deluxe Model. Insanely Figured Maple and Adirondack Spruce, strung with medium Thomastik strings for a gorgeous sound with superb playability. Rolfe Gerhardt hand makes these versatile Mandolins for players who want the best. You won't believe the great feel these have!
From the Phoenix website: "The Deluxe Model was created as the result of requests by professional musicians who want a medium-string mandolin that would excel at all kinds of music but was styled with the clean, elegant appearance of the Neoclassical, and...would include a built-in pickup. To distinguish it from the Neoclassical: the Deluxe is colored with a lightly-sunburst, warm, violin dark-brown under the hybrid varnish; the Grover tuners are gold with custom black parts and buttons; and the fingerboard features the trademarked abalone vine created for the Unicorn Master Models of the 1970s and included on the "Pickin'" fingerboard poster."
The Deluxe is an upgraded model for Phoenix with lots of lovely details. For starters, the wood is top notch, add to that gorgeous inlays and a violin burst and you get something special. This mando plays like butter and it offers a wonderfully modern voice that can cover a lot of ground. 
This is a great all-purpose mandolin that can be used for any style of playing from Classical to Bluegrass. The workmanship is excellent as well. - Accessories
