Re: Is there much point to an electric jazz mandolin?
There are two points to this mandolin. Well, three, when you factor in Jethro playing it.

But I did want to say I also have a Ryder four-string. I've had great experiences with it. I don't play jazz, though I will venture into swing. Not with the Ryder, though - that's more for rock, blues, and country. Though to tell the truth, when I was working on my last album, one song called for some rocking. I got a stronger sound out of my Gibson A acoustic with Fishman bridge. Not sure why, but it really kicked butt. I'm pretty impressed with it. And I used the Ryder a lot in my old Americana band, always did great. Ah, life is full of mysteries.
Anyway, you're the first person I've known to own a Ryder other than me.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
