This guitar, tuned with standard E-E tuning, has a unique quality that sets it apart - it's as if it spent a little too long in the dryer. The body of this guitar is designed with a larger "Artist" or F-Style Mandola type body, creating a more resonant air chamber that enhances volume, improves low-end response, and adds a touch of timber to its voice. Compared to previous manditar models, the newer F-6 and F-12 have an extended 15" scale length, providing more space for your hands and making barre chords near the nut possible. The Zero Glide nut ensures stable tuning and allows for the lowest action possible, reducing string tension common in short scale instruments. The fretboard is radiused for comfort, and the ebony bridge features a built-in pickup for easy amplified play.
In essence, this guitar offers another unique voice for your recording studio, band, solo performances, or casual jam sessions. If you're looking to achieve a mandolin-like sound without mastering the mandolin itself, this guitar is a perfect solution (although we still recommend learning mandolin!). The shorter scale length lends itself well to open tunings, allowing you to focus on single notes or harmonics while strumming. Whether you're seeking to add new colors to familiar songs or explore entirely new sounds, this guitar will ignite your creativity. It even comes with a convenient soft case for protection.
