    The Eastwood website says this is a limited production run of 36. List $999.

    I'm not surprised production is limited to 36. What does surprise me is that they think they might sell that many.

    I listened to it without watching it and I couldn't tell the difference between when he was playing the mando versus up the neck on the tenor. I think if you're going to make a double neck then you need to distinguish between the two. Maybe a paired course on the mando or an alternate tuning between the two. Is the tenor GDAE or CGDA?

    What always amazes me about these videos is that they get guitar players to do the demo.
    I think maybe a good mandolin player would be a better demonstrator of this instrument than a hastily converted guitar player.

    You'd think they'd at least get the guy for whom its named to play it. I worked with them a couple years ago designing a new bridge for their mandolin, and I can say they are definitely focused on guitars and the mandolin is just a line offering.

    I would be good if they offered the top electric 4 string mandolin by itself.

    I take it this isn't the comix-writer Warren Ellis, creator of The Authority, Transmetropolitan. Planetary, Global Frequency, and many other graphic-novel masterpieces. I guess I need to widen my musical horizons (and stop reading so many comix). Ah, if only these two Warren Ellises would collaborate...
    Mandos: Coleman & Soviet ovals; Kay & Rogue A5's; Harmonia F2 & mandola
    Ukuleles: 3 okay tenors; 3 cheap sopranos; Harmonia concert & baritone
    Banjos: Gretsch banjolin; Varsity banjolele; Orlando 5-string; fretless & fretted Cümbüs o'uds
    Acoustic guitars: Martin Backpacker; Ibanez Performance; Art et Lutherie; Academy dobro; Ovation 12-string
    Others: Maffick & First Act dulcimers; Mexican cuatro-menor; Puerto Rican cuatro; Martin tiple; electrics
    Wanted: charango; balalaika; bowlback mando

    On Eastwood's B-stock clearance page, they've got it marked down to $499! Half off makes it a bit more reasonable.. NFI and all that.

    Warren Ellis, the musician (wikipedia)

    playing his signature tenor guitar
    from ca 7:20-8:20 and ca 10:20 end on documentary about the WE TG.

    I gather that Ellis plays the tenor quite a bit with one of his bands, Grinderman.
