The Morgan Monroe "Rocky Top" Bluegrass Series mandolins represent the finest quality available for even the most demanding player. The uncompromising tone and feel of these instruments put them in a class that is second to none and explains why many players are putting the "Rocky Top" series mandolins at the top of their "must have" list. Mix all that with the Lifetime Warranty and you'll see why long after the first note is struck, you won't be able to put these mandolins down.  At Morgan Monroe quality takes top priority! All instruments go through a factory setup and are inspected by quality control personnel to make sure that we are shipping products that look and play excellent right out of the box. We wouldn't put the Morgan Monroe stamp of approval...a Lifetime Warranty, on just any product. All designs go through a development process that is a collection of input and ideas from musicians from all over. Types of wood, color choices, hardware and price are all thoroughly thought through before we introduce a new Morgan Monroe design.
