Looking for 4 string

Hi!
I am looking for a 4 string electric. Cosmetics not important. Intonation & playability of utmost importance. Price range: under $1500.00. Anyone selling or any suggestions where to look would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Dave

as well as many other builders listed at emando.com

I just took receipt of my Mann EM-5 about two weeks ago. Jon builds in batches and last I heard, he built some extra instruments. Not sure if they are sold yet or not. I'm very happy with my instrument. Good luck.

I've been using an EM 150 Gibson as a partially converted 4 string , and CGDA string tuning, so theres that option too , those come up around $1200 these days..

upper bridge portion and re-notching a different nut will do it. .049" C string.

Doesn't look like he's trying to buy-- just getting some suggestions.

I just got one from Andrew Jerman and I'm very pleased. It cost a LOT less than your max price and at least for my purposes it's just fine. I plan to write up a more detailed review once I live with it a while longer since I'm totally a newbie to the electric mando world.
