Detail 01
ABS molded shell
Rigid plastic resists impact and moisture better than a padded bag, and cleans up after weather or a dirty van floor.

Road RunnerRRMAM ABS Molded A Mandolin Case
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Molded ABS hard case cut for A-style mandolins. For players who move an instrument regularly and need real impact protection.
Strong match
Who this is for
- A-style mandolin owners commuting to jams and rehearsals
- Instruments stored where pets, kids or stacked gear are a risk
- Car and van transport where a gig bag won't stop a crush
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- F-style mandolins — the scroll and points will not fit the cavity
- Mandolas, octave mandolins and other larger scale instruments
- Players wanting a light shoulder-carry bag for short walks
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
A-style body cavity
Cut for the symmetrical teardrop outline. F-style scrolls and body points have nowhere to sit.
Detail 03
28 inch interior length
Full inside length. Standard A-style mandolins fit; anything longer scale won't clear the headstock end.
Detail 04
14 inch interior body length
Body cavity length only. Measure your mandolin's body from neck joint to tail before ordering.
Detail 05
10.25 inch bout width, upper and lower
Equal bouts confirm the symmetrical A-style shape. Asymmetric bodies won't sit flat in the mold.
Detail 06
2.75 inch body depth
Depth clearance at the body. Check your mandolin's side depth — thicker-rimmed builds can press against the lid.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm you have an A-style, not an F-style, before ordering — the shapes are not interchangeable
- 02No strap, humidifier or lock included
- 03Measure body length, bout width and depth; molded cavities have no adjustment
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will an F-style mandolin fit?
No. The cavity is molded to the symmetrical A-style outline with equal 10.25 inch bouts. An F-style's scroll and points need a case shaped for them.
02Does it hold a mandola or octave mandolin?
No. At 28 inch interior length and a 14 inch body cavity, larger-scale instruments in the family won't fit. Look for a case sized to that scale.
03Is a molded case worth it over a gig bag?
If the instrument travels, yes. A molded shell stops crush damage from stacked gear or a closing trunk lid, which padding alone won't.
04How do I know my A-style will fit?
Measure three things: total length under 28 inches, body length near 14 inches, bouts around 10.25 inches, and side depth under 2.75 inches.
