These six-string mandolin guitars are built on a larger artist- (or F-style) mandola body. The Gold Tone F-6 Mando-Guitar has a larger air chamber that offers extended low-end response. A wider slim-line neck and longer scale provide added room for fretting those first-position chords. The Zero Glide nut is very effective at maintaining tuning stability and allows for the lowest possible action alleviating the string tension which is common with short-scale instruments.The fretboard is radiused for comfort and the ebony bridge contains a built-in pickup for easy plugged-in picking.
Bottom line is this guitar is another voicing to add to your recording studio, band, solo gig, or just to jam around with. If you're a guitar player looking to achieve a mandolin sound without learning to play the mandolin, this does the trick! With the shorter scale length, it lends itself to opening tuning so you can focus more on single or harmonic notes while strumming. Whether you're looking to add color to songs that you have been playing for years or looking for new sounds, this will definitely spark your imagination. Comes with a soft case!
