I recently got back into the electric mandolin, (building and playing). I
came up with this body style by "morphing" a few popular
styles into one. Available with 4, 5 or 8 strings. These Manndolins
are available in three body types :
1. Hollow body
- This version utilizes a traditional style floating bridge and has the
most acoustic sound of the three. It's tone is warmer both acoustically
and plugged in.
2. Semi Hollow body
- This version has the lighter weight and some of the resonance of the hollow body but has a
mahogany block under the bridge which decreases the acoustic volume/tone but
increases the sustain and feedback resistance . This model uses the
Aluminum "wrap around" Bridge/Tailpiece.
3. Solid Body -
This version has the least amount of acoustic volume and the most
sustain/feedback resistance. It also uses the aluminum "wrap
around" Bridge/Tailpiece.
