Oh how I want an electric mandolin. How do you like that one?

Nice!

What's the red 12 string?

It’s a Maton Mastersound MS500/12. Most people only see the Maton acoustics, which are very popular in country music circles, but they are high quality Australian guitars. Interestingly, George Harrison played one back in the 60’s.

It’s really great. I play in a Bruce Springsteen tribute show and needed a mandolin, I intended to get a beginner model with a pickup, but I was talked into this one. It’s just perfect with a band as it doesn’t feedback and has a lot of treble to cut through a dense rock band.

Is the Godin mando an A8 model? My old eyes can't read the headstock even if I magnify the image.

Yes, Godin A8!

All I can say is, I'm running low on arrows, better fill the quiver. Dang!

Bought the giant D'Addario 25 pack of 10s, then promptly decided to try 9s for the first time in forever, and haven't even opened the big box, after over a year. Doh!

Have a few 9 sets on hand, and that. Conclusion remains to be seen.

What's up with number 2's neck finish? I have never seen a guitar like this. Looks really cool. How fast does it feel? does the design have an impact on playability other than aesthetics? The bridge looks crazy as well. What's the builder's name if you don't mind?

It's Dean Zelinsky's patented Z-Glide neck. The pattern is supposed to reduce friction (less contact surface) and wick away sweat.

Thanks! As someone who hates sticky neck finishes I'm already a fan. Sounds like a good alternative to sanded necks that are more exposed to moisture changes

IR shooting today, took the tele.

The Z-neck is fast as greased lightning and NEVER sticky at all. It takes a couple of playings to get used to, but it is
a very minor adjustment. I have both a custom Tagliare ATW (below) and the custom LaVoce pictured above.

They are both very interesting guitars!
