    I don't but this line:

    Shape: Dreadnought

    is wrong. It actually looks pretty good.

    They are only $560 on Amazon...I guess the Gold Tone isn't the most affordable mandocello.

    That seems like a really good price, even with laminate back and sides. I wasn't looking for a 'cello at all but the L5 look of this one got me thinking...

    As I replied on the other post about this instrument, I'm not sure I believe the 5" depth either. That's yuuuuggge.

    Am I just being an annoyingly picky person, or should the people who put instrument specs on their websites, be able to spell "nickel?" Ain't no such thang as "nickle."

    Well, they spelled it right further down the page...

    I have a local dealer that can order from them. I am trying to get the skinny on what a case costs, as I doubt it comes with one at that price point, and actual delivery date.

    Same basic specs as the Gold Tone. Both have solid spruce top. Main difference is that the GT has the pickups.

    No cutaway. Different tail piece. But would not be surprised if they are made in same place.
