I wanted this one-

I don't know if I would call it a mandola. I would bet that it is tuned like an octave 12string guitar. Like the Vox mandoguitar.

You would win that bet!

Just in case anyone needs a reason to buy one of these:

I saw Vince Gill on TV playing a Duesenberg mandola a while back. I didn't know what it was and posted on MC --just had a big "D" on it. Someone guessed "Duesenberg". I looked them up --they are really a small guitar -not a true mandola it seems.

They all look pretty awesome. The guitar tuning doesn't bother me. With a little finagling they can be mandolized. I've tuned a bass guitar to CGDA and CGCG. Not sure how you could do it with 6 courses, but with a little figuring and maybe different strings you could get some 5ths tuning going on there.

Yeah, I'm partial to the longhorns. I have 2 of the archtops with f-holes - one is a 6 and the other a 7 string.

The Dues looks nice, but a 5 or 4 string would be my choice. I have too many other guitars to want a small one.
