Short scale, F-style mandolin and guitar hybrid.
The Gold Tone 12-string Mando-Guitar is built using a larger Artist or F-Style Mandola type body to increase the resonant air chamber and provide more volume, better low-end response and just the right amount of timber in its voicing. Compared to previous manditar models, the newer F-6 and F-12 uses an extended 15” scale allowing for more hand room. Barre chords are even possible near the nut. 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 playing. This guitar is another voicing to add to your recording studio, band, solo gig or jam session. 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 you've been playing for years or looking for new sounds, this will definitely spark your imagination. A soft case is included.
