I was checking the specs on the website - I sometimes do for my instruments.
Anyway, two things I hadn’t noticed before became apparent to me
1) the fingerboard material is engineered wood. (I could have sworn it was rosewood)
2). The bridge is described as ‘alternative’. Again I’d never noticed this before.

I’m happy, very happy with the mando. I had it set up professionally so it plays really nicely. So this is more intellectual or curiosity based in regard to the discussion.
Is it possible the specs have changed? I bought the mandolin new from Nashville Sam ash in 2017. Its serial number suggests it to be a 2015. It had hung in the shop for a while
If not, what is an alternative bridge? It’s a standard Gibson style bridge. Would an upgrade benefit?
What are the issues and strengths of engineered wood?
Thanks in advance.
