The sophisticated appointments include striking black ABS binding that creates dramatic visual contrast against the mango's natural blonde and caramel beauty, an elegant rosewood rosette that adds warmth and traditional appeal, a professional ebony fingerboard that provides exceptional smoothness and contributes to the instrument's tonal clarity, and reliable Graph Tech NuBone® nut and saddle engineered for optimal string performance and intonation. The cutaway design provides unprecedented access to the upper frets, enabling complex melodic work, advanced chord voicings, and intricate fingerpicking patterns that would be impossible on traditional tenor designs. High-quality D'Addario® Pro-Arté Titanium strings perfectly complement the mango's sweet character while providing the clarity and projection needed for both acoustic and ensemble performance.
