Product Description

The Bourgeois M5O Black-Top Octave Mandolin is a handcrafted instrument that combines the legendary craftsmanship of Bourgeois Guitars with the rich, resonant voice of an octave mandolin. Designed to inspire both mandolin players and guitarists, the M5O delivers exceptional versatility for everything from traditional folk and Celtic music to contemporary songwriting, accompaniment, and melodic exploration.

At the heart of the M5O is an Aged Tone Adirondack spruce soundboard, finished in a striking black gloss. Renowned for its outstanding headroom, projection, and dynamic response, Adirondack spruce provides exceptional clarity and power, allowing the instrument to respond beautifully to both delicate picking and more aggressive playing styles. Paired with a premium ebony fingerboard and a European maple neck treated with Bourgeois' Aged Tone process, the M5O offers a lively, articulate playing experience with remarkable sustain and responsiveness.

Elegant appointments including ivoroid body and fingerboard binding, satin nickel Golden Age tuners, and a deep black gloss finish complete an instrument that is as visually striking as it is musically inspiring. Whether you're adding depth to an ensemble, accompanying vocals, or discovering new musical textures, the Bourgeois M5O Black-Top Octave Mandolin delivers world-class tone and craftsmanship.
