A5 Deluxe
The A5 Deluxe features all of the same materials, specifications, and finishing as the A5 Special, and features silver hardware, nickel frets, and is double bound. Featuring the signature Ellis tone, the A5 Deluxe sounds unquestionably richer, sweeter, and has more sustain that the typical Loar voice found in many contemporary instruments. For the player looking for a more modern sound, the Ellis A5 Deluxe is a unique instrument with a unique voice.
