Hand Made From Selected Mahogany, Spruce & Rosewood, With Hand Cut Abalone Inlays. The Mandele was first designed & built by me, Lee Elliott, in 1995. Only 8 Mandeles were built at that time. In 2006 after several requests I began to build them again. I changed the sound holes & slightly changed the body shape. *** More Info & Photos on Mandele Page Two & Three.
