I just got this picture from Steve Ryder of my new 4-string electric octave mandolin. It's a lot better picture than the one I put in a prior post. I've had the instrument for 3 days and have been very impressed. The workmanship and setup are perfect. It has Shaller tuners, an ebony fretboard, and two humbucker pickups. It's tuned an octave lower than mandolin and has a scale length of 21", still a bit shorter than a regular guitar. I tried it through my son's Gibson tube amp and it sounds terrific. I can't wait to try it in a public performance...probably in a couple of weeks.
