Don't know why they're calling it a Mando-Strat®.

It's pretty similar to the old Fender mandolin. Looks nice, but I've been wanting to try out one of those Eastwood Tele mandolins.

I prefer my mandolins as double course instruments.

There were recent Fender electric mandolins that were double course yeah? The Epiphone Mandobirds were / are too. Both super fun.

Let's form an ILF mandolin orchestra.

What would a hundred fuzzed out mandolins sound like?

Link says $399MSRP so $300-400? I'm not sure how those things work. I kinda want this, or maybe one of the eastwood tenors, because I want to copy Warren Ellis and for no other reason.

I can' stop thinking about this instrument and all the interesting stuff I could do with it

reverb, fuzz, running it through an old valco lap steel amp

I need to buy one
