Green mandolins are always best, especially if they have a pickup on them-like an F150.

I recommend staying acoustic and use a Fishman pick-up (similar style as the one you show). I use an Acoustic Image amp (sounds fantastic). I also like to use a tube screamer (makes it warm and fuzzy)and sometimes delay for when I want to get "spaced-out dude..."
