The 2018 Ellis F5 Tradition "Rag Doll" is the first instrument built in this model, commissioned specifically for CJ Lewandowski. Handcrafted by Tom Ellis, it reflects his thoughtful interpretation of the classic F-5 design, with exceptional attention to detail, responsive tonal balance, and refined craftsmanship throughout. As the inaugural example of the "Rag Doll" model, it carries unique historical significance while remaining an outstanding musical instrument in its own right. A rare opportunity to acquire a one-of-one Ellis mandolin with documented provenance and an important place in the maker's body of work.

Includes custom Main Stage "The Watermelon Case" HSC also made for CJ, along with a letter written and Signed by CJ.
