"Strung E to e and tuned an octave up, think of it as a 12 string guitar with a capo at the 12th fret."

That Hammertone looks like a match, thanks Jacob.

The Hammertone is a copy of a 1960s Vox Mandoguitar, like this one (https://reverb.com/item/230832-vox-mando-guitar-1960s).

Daniel Lanois played one of these on U2's The Joshua Tree.
Listen for the scratchy bit in the background. ;)
