Morgan Monroe Mandolin Company

February 28, 2018

The Morgan Monroe Mandolin Company is based in Indianapolis Indiana and named after the State Forest nearby. The brand is owned by SHS International, which is a distributer for several other brands as well.

In business since 2001, there have been numerous A and F model mandolins made over the years. Their latest offerings include the MF-550F model which is an all solid carved F-style mandolin. Their instruments have been popular among players and consistently among the best selling brands. This is partly due to the many options they have introduced. This includes unique finishes and wood choices along with wide neck and left handed versions that have not been available elsewhere. Many of their mandolin instruments used the Ashton Bailey cast tailpiece.

Morgan Monroe mandolins are covered by a Lifetime Warranty. This covers defects in the materials and workmanship to the original owner.

One interesting thing about the company is how fast they change their models. It seems like the entire line changes every few years. They even discontinue or change the most popular models. This has led to some confusion regarding what the current models are.

All three of these recommendations are passive pickups. While there are several other good options, these should be at the top of your list.

The main reason you are going to buy an Ovation mandolin is obviously the pickup. If not it should be. These are not the best sounding acoustic mandolin made, but on stage they are in their element. Need to add some mandolin to your high-volume rock band?
