The Mitchell DM200E double cut acoustic-electric mandolin brings a bold, modern shape to the line of traditional folk instruments, combining upper-fret access, and a focused acoustic voice in one stage-ready design. That double cutaway design is the model’s defining feature, giving this mandolin a level of upper-register access rarely seen in traditional acoustic mandolin designs. A hollow carved okoume body, maple neck, purpleheart fingerboard, arched top and back, F-style soundholes and California Gold vintage-style finish give the DM200E a distinctive balance of acoustic character and amplified versatility.
Double Cutaway for Expanded Upper-Fret Access
The double cutaway design makes the DM200E especially useful for players who want to move beyond first-position rhythm work. Upper-fret access feels more natural for solos, melodic fills and modern chord voicings, while the maple neck and purpleheart fingerboard provide a familiar, smooth playing feel. This makes the DM200E appealing to guitarists, multi-instrumentalists and mandolin players exploring folk-rock, worship, indie, Americana and experimental textures.
Hollow Okoume Construction With Traditional F-Hole Response
A hollow carved okoume body gives the DM200E a focused, articulate acoustic voice with enough projection for practice and unplugged writing. Arched top and back construction support resonance and response, while traditional F-style soundholes help shape the mandolin’s punch and clarity. The California Gold vintage-style finish gives the instrument a distinctive visual identity under stage lights while still preserving the traditional character associated with folk instruments.
