Yes, this is a GUITAR!
Tuning - E, A, D, G, B, E
With standard E-E tuning this guitar just stayed in the dryer a bit too long. This guitar is built using a larger “Artist” or F-Style Mandola type body to increase the resonant air chamber providing more volume, better low-end response, and adds just the right amount of timber in its voicing. Compared to our 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.
Bottom line is this guitar is another voicing to add to your recording studio, band, solo gig, or just to jam with. If you’re looking to achieve a mandolin sound without learning to play the mandolin this does the trick (although, we think you should learn mandolin too)! 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 that you have been playing for years or looking for new sounds, this will definitely spark your imagination. Comes with a soft case!

★★★★★Jason W.I've been to Larry's multiple times both to fix my son's guitar and purchase one of my own. Both times, the employees have been absolutely phenomenal. They took time at the end of their day to fix my son's cable jack, taught us about guitar pickups and chords, and more recently, taught me many things about amps and how to best use them. The costs of repairs have been EXTREMELY reasonable and incredibly fast to boot. If you want an amazing small business with employees that truly love what they're selling, don't just walk, but run here, you won't regret it.
