Doing some surfing looking for Ernie Ball Bass info, I came upon this statement on the EB site:
A few years later Dan Norton, a friend and employee, convinced EB to reopen the Earthwood shop. They installed a skeleton crew that turned out around four instruments a day. Ultimately about 2,000 Earthwood basses, guitars, mandolas, and baby guitars were built. The instruments are now collectors' items, sought after for their clear, rich tone and fine craftsmanship.
Anyone ever see/hear/play a EB mandola back in the day?
I've seen the basses and guitars.. What did the mandolas look like?
