The following are just a few of the many mandolins built by Jerry L. Rosa, Sr. All mandolins are patterned after a 1924 Lloyd Loar "killer" mandolin that Jerry repaired many years ago. Standard mandolins start at $5,995. Custom mandolins will vary in price depending on the amount of customization. Carmine D'Amico, of New York - winner of 24 Grammy Awards, owns this F5C-10 String Custom Mandolin completed on 4-19-98.
This mandolin has been on display at the American Guitar Museum In New York.
