Gold Tone 12-string F-style Mando-Guitar with Pickup and Case (F-12)

A Unique Twist: A Mandolin-Style Guitar!

Surprise, it's a guitar! Crafted in the style of a larger "Artist" or F-Style Mandola, this guitar marries the unique aesthetic of a mandolin with the versatility of a traditional guitar. The larger body augments the resonant air chamber for amplified volume and superior low-end response, lending a distinct timber to its voice. Standard E-E tuning and an extended 15” scale give your hands plenty of room, and the Zero Glide nut ensures optimal tuning stability and low-action performance. With its radiused fretboard and built-in pickup in the ebony bridge, this guitar promises comfort and convenience for both unplugged and amplified play.

Whether you're recording, performing solo, or jamming with friends, this guitar brings a fresh voice to your music. It beautifully emulates a mandolin, saving you the trouble of learning a new instrument (although, learning the mandolin could be fun!). Given its shorter scale length, you might find it particularly suitable for open tuning, allowing you to concentrate on single or harmonic notes while strumming. Spark your musical imagination with this unique guitar. A soft case is included for your convenience!
