2010s Richard Beard Z-2 Octave Mandolin/Bouzouki, Spruce, Flamed Koa - USED

ON CONSIGNMENT, NO TRADE OFFERS PLEASE!

(USED) Here is a very nice sounding octave mandolin/bouzouki built by Richard Beard of Rutherfordton, North Carolina.  It has a spruce top (appears to be Sitka) and figured koa back/sides.  The koa is very fine indeed, with a very tight flame.  

The nut width is 1 3/8", and the scale is 24 1/2".  It has a flat ebony fingerboard and ebony bridge.  For appointments, it has a herringbone rosette, ivoroid body binding and a cast tailpiece cover.  The tuners are closed-back Grovers. 

Condition is very good with some dings in the top and very faint fret wear on the unwound strings.  Includes Reunion Blues soft case.
