New Jonathan Mann 5-string

Looks pretty tasty. The guy in the red suit knows I've been a good boy...

**thistle3585** · Dec-14-2004, 8:33am

How is the bridge braced on the Mann 5 string? I understand it to be hollow.

**mrmando** · Dec-14-2004, 2:26pm

Eh? D'you mean, how's the TOP braced? You can ask Jonathan himself; looks like eBay didn't pan out so he's posted it in the Classifieds here.

Here's a sweet Rigelcaster E110. These don't come around too often.

**thistle3585** · Dec-14-2004, 2:49pm

Yes, thats what I meant. I'll check with him.

**Lee** · Dec-15-2004, 4:46pm

Kevin Schwab made a 5-stringer with a single F-hole just like the Jonathan Mann. In fact, Mr. Mann's newest is practically indistiguishable. I like the 5-pole Bill Lawrence pick-up. Me like.

holy monkey.... I just saw the late model fender five string emando go on ebay--used-- for $600. What's goin' on here? I bought mine for $250 about a year ago. Market shift?

I love the output jack!

**mrmando** · Dec-20-2004, 12:32pm

That looks a lot like an old Carvin. I don't think it is one — it's handbuilt — but it's fairly close.

The description brought tears to my eyes...

**jefflester** · Dec-20-2004, 5:26pm

Hmmm, nice bridge(s). Maybe the loop and ball ends help the sound. #

TEKNO-ready! Almost brings a tear to my eye..

**delsbrother** · Jan-07-2005, 7:16pm

Amazing!

There can be only one!

Frankly, I'm speechless about the last one. Anybody heard of this company? It'd almost be worth the BIN just to figure out what that thing is on the headstock.

**mrmando** · Jan-09-2005, 5:11pm

Almost bought an Amazing violin once ... same body shape, different bridge and headstock, of course. Word has it the reserve on this mando is $1,000, which is a bit of a laugh.

On the Highland mandola, the headstock decoration is a maple leaf. Appears to be made of chewing gum.

**delsbrother** · Jan-16-2005, 5:13am

This one wasn't up long before someone snatched it.. Anyone have experience with Echeverrias? I like the non-reverse Firebird shape; would have made a nice compliment to my Mandobird.

**pklima** · Jan-22-2005, 6:46pm

That one looks nice, though it's more of a reverse reverse Firebird shape than a non-reverse Firebird. Anyhow, here's a freak:

Anybody in the hunt for this?

That Tiesco looks sweet, and it went for only $250 US.

**mad dawg** · Jan-23-2005, 6:45pm

BTW, Mike Spicer in Hamilton, Ontario, makes electric mandolins that appear to be inspired by the Tiesco...

**pklima** · Jan-24-2005, 11:58am

That doubleneck guitar-mando thing is only $207.50 with less than ten hours to go. No idea who Earl Robertson was but if it is indeed a 1958 American-made electric...

Lucky for me I'm sticking to cello-tuning and larger instruments.

**delsbrother** · Jan-24-2005, 4:12pm

I dunno, I can't picture Kent with much of a custom shop - I'm thinking that's a homemade Frankenguitar all the way, maybe cannibalizing some cheapo pawnshop prizes for the pickups and hardware.. Of course I'm probably wrong.. But still can't picture myself playing that thing.

I CAN picture myself slinging a real Mosrite-ish double neck like Deke Dickerson's custom TNM. (TNM website). Of course these are guitar/octave guitars, but whatever - hmmm... how 'bout a mando/octave mando? Got a spare $7500?

No I didn't go to that concert, but I wish I would've! I didn't know about it at all until I Googled Deke Dickerson to use as an example in this thread. I'm kicking myself for missing that! I'm a huge fan of Big Sandy and all that Rockabilly steel stuff..Evidently Dick Dale came on for an encore with Nokie Edwards. Can you imagine??

That mando-guitar's no Kent - I just got confused because the builder used a Kent lap steel pickup in it. Sure is ugly, though.

What I don't understand is why so many of the weirdest e-mandos seem to be 3-day or 5-day auctions or get snatched up quickly because they have a low BIN. Gotta keep your eyes peeled...

**mrmando** · Jan-25-2005, 5:12pm

What do you think about this one?

Mike Reinhardt strikes again...

**Christian McKee** · Jan-25-2005, 6:08pm

You know, I was pretty sure I liked all weird things, until I started seeing this guy's mandolins. Now I guess can say that I don't like all the weird things out there...
