A lovely octave mandolin, this Gold Tone OM-800 Plus has a teardrop shape body with a solid arched spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and mahogany neck. The radiused fingerboard offers a comfortable playing experience, and the round soundhole offers rich, sustaining tone. Gold hardware, including a cast tailpiece and sealed tuners, adds to the visual appeal. Tuned an octave lower than a standard mandolin, this instrument is a great option for mandolinists or guitarists looking to explore new sonic territory. It’s equipped with a discreet bridge-mounted transducer pickup for easy amplification.
