Elegant Craftsmanship. Warm Projection.

A used instrument in pristine condition, with no blemishes at all.
The Ashbury GR-3126 is a beautifully built F-style mandolin that blends traditional aesthetics with modern playability. Its solid spruce top and stunning tiger stripe solid maple back and sides deliver a crisp, articulate tone with rich sustain — perfect for Celtic, Bluegrass, or Country music.
The oval sound hole offers a loud yet warmer, rounder tone than its f-hole counterparts, making it ideal for expressive soloing and chordal accompaniment. With an arched top, ebony adjustable bridge, and golden strip machine heads, this mandolin doesn’t just sound great — it looks the part too.
Finished in a natural gloss and detailed with black/white/black purfling, the GR-3126 is a standout piece for players who value tone, style, and reliability. Whether you're gigging, recording, or just enjoying the feel of a well-made instrument, this mandolin is ready to inspire.

The high-end range of Ashbury instruments such as this one, were made through a combination of Dae Won Instruments from Korea and Dalian Da Yuan in China. The same factory in China also made high end instruments for Ozark, Rally, Kentucky, Morgan Monroe and Pilgrim amongst others. Dae Won has now closed down since some time in 2017. It seems that no-one else has taken over from Dae Won so most of the brands have lost their high-end signature product lines.
These instruments are already becoming collectors items and will be much sought after.
This one is in unbelievable condition and a rare find.
