Ad in newsweek with funny mandolins

[jefflester]

This ad for Hartford retirement services was on the inside cover of the Oct 9th issue of Newsweek. First off there's the kid playing the no-holes gold colored mandolin, and then in the display case in the background there's a grouping of double mouse ears. Any ideas what mandolin these are? Or maybe they're photoshopped creatiions?

I believe the gold one to be electric, however there is no cord??
the mandos in the case appear to be F12's.
