Is that a mandolin or something else?

Bandolim, similar to Catmandu's new instrument (http://www.giannini.com.br/produtos_detalhe.asp?id=893) in his "Gianinni" thread below.
Brazilian mandolin variant.

I can't tell from that fuzzy video, but I believe that Hamilton plays a 10 string bandolim in the last few years.

You can see it much better here (made by Tércio Ribeiro (http://www.jazzmando.com/trcio_ribeiro.shtml)):

He's pretty, pretty, pretty good.
I like that instrument. Worked well with Marshall and makes for a nice jazzy instrument as well.
