Yes, this is a GUITAR!
Tuning - E, A, D, G, B, E
With the standard EE tuning, this guitar has stayed in the dryer a bit too long. This guitar is built with a larger "Artist" or F-Style Mandola body to increase the resonant air chamber, which provides more volume and better low-end response, and just the right amount of wood added in the intonation. Compared to our earlier manditar models, the newer F-6 and F-12 have an extended 15" scale length, allowing for more hand room. Barr� chords are possible even near the saddle. The Zero Glide saddle is very effective in maintaining tuning stability and allows for the lowest possible string tension common to short scale instruments. The fretboard is rounded for comfort, and the ebony bridge includes a built-in pickup for easy plug-in play.
Bottom line, this guitar is another voicing for your recording studio, band, solo gig or just for jamming. If you want to achieve a mandolin sound without learning to play the mandolin, this guitar is for you (although we think you should learn to play the mandolin, too)! The shorter scale length makes it suitable for open tuning, allowing you to focus more on single or harmonic notes when strumming. Whether you want to add color to songs you've been playing for years or are looking for new sounds, this instrument is sure to capture your imagination. Comes with a soft case!
