The Ratliff R5 mandolin is built by hand in Church Hill, Tennessee, part of a small lineup of F style and A style mandolins. The company was originally started to produce left-handed F-Style instruments, but has grown to produce right hand models, and offers both F hole and oval hole versions. This Ratliff R5 seems to be a discontinued model, superseded by the slightly more elaborate R5 ‘Master Model’.
