Jonathan Mann Raven OM-5 Five-String Electric Mandolin/Mandola – Vintage Tobacco Burst

Sale Price: $1,550.00 Original Price: $1,750.00

A distinctive handmade instrument from Tennessee luthier Jonathan Mann, this 2025 Raven OM-5 is a semi-hollow, neck-through electric mandolin designed to combine the lighter weight and resonance of a semi-hollow body with the sustain and stability of neck-through construction.

Features

  • Excellent Condition

  • 5-string Raven with an 18" scale

  • Single neck-position DiMarzio Pro Track humbucking pickup

  • Vintage Tobacco Burst finish with gloss top and satin back.

  • The three-piece curly maple/mahogany/curly maple neck extends through the body, with the mahogany body constructed around the central neck for added stability and strength.

  • The semi-hollow body keeps the instrument light while contributing additional acoustic resonance.

  • The Raven uses an 18" scale and is typically tuned C-G-D-A-E, extending downward from the conventional mandolin's G-D-A-E tuning, while retaining the familiar mandolin tuning on the upper four strings, allowing it to span both the mandola and mandolin registers.
