    Oh my oh me!

    Re: Yet Another CF Mandolin?

    Seeing that you can get pickups as an add-on option on their guitars and ukuleles with multiple options for pickups, I think it's likely they would give you that option on these too.

    I've played around with 4, 5 and 8-string electrics, and they just do different things. My favorite, without question, is a 5-string octave semi-hollow, that I built basically as a scaled down...

    Bose S-1 Pro is the way to go! I use two with a ToneMatch and they are great! NO issue with max volume, lots of headroom.
