Made from solid spruce and red maple, it’s essentially what you’d expect in a mandolin’s make-up. Lightweight (chambered and 6 lbs or under), responsive and “chimey”, 8-strings, and a comfortable scale length, this feels and plays like a mandolin family instrument, not a mini electric novelty. Powered by two pickups: the Seymour Duncan Apollo II humbucking ‘Jazz Bass’ magnetic pickup, and an in-house piezo dubbed the Kapsule with volume blending capabilities. This makes the instrument quite versatile for a variety of performance venues.
