Hey everyone, thought I'd share this beauty that Jon made me over at Manndolins. Here's the specs:
Semi hollow body
Flamed maple top w/ Honeyburst finish
Maple/cherry/maple back
18.25 length scale
Dimarzio rail style pickup
GFS mini Humbucker
I've been really impressed with not only the look but more importantly the sound. Very clean, easy to play.Attachment 171366
Cool mando!
I've been drooling of Jon's work for years.
How are you tuning it (CGDAE or GDAEB)? What gauges of strings are you using?
Daniel
Good questions Daniel. I had a Mann SEM-5 and he builds great emandos. Still got the Tele but the Mann 5 is gone because I was looking for an 8 string sound. btw Nice axe Kwind!!

Sorry it took me so long to reply! I’ve been tuning it GDAEB. May end up changing it to CGDAE in the future. String gauges: .010 .014 .026 .038 .052Quote:
