The Vintage A is the premier A model mandolin. It is built and voiced exactly the same as the Vintage F model.

The Red Diamond Vintage model arose after studying the flexibility of a number early 1920’s F-style mandolins. There has been demand for an exceptional “A” model with the vintage voicing. The Vintage “A” is tonally the twin brother of the Vintage F, and is always difficult to pick in a blind test with the “F”. Each Red Diamond Vintage mandolin offers players the opportunity to play a new mandolin with that wonderful sound, look and feel of the old mandolins that are now collector’s items.
