Thought others may be interested in my electric mini-guitar to octave mando conversion. When I saw this $99 guitar with a 22-7/8" scale length, it cried out to be converted to an octave mando. The total price comes to a little under $200 and it's a fairly easy project for someone with basic woodworking skills. I have a basic guide that outlines the bare esential information of the conversion process available at: http://www.angelfire.com/music2/construct/page10EOM.html

The web page also has some suggestions for some improvements in the instrument as shown here. Scale length takes a little getting used to, but it also opens the door for some of the tunes that sound so good with open strings played with the melody.
