Okay, so it's actually a guitar, but check out this F-shaped electric Stuart has been playing on tour with Plant/Krauss.

So what is it, and who makes it? A little like the Morgan Monroe bass.
Chief. Way up North. Gibson 1917 A model with pickup. JL Smith 5 string electric. 1929 National Triolian resonator mandolin with pickup. National RM 1 with pickup. Ovation Applause. Fender FM- 60 E 5 string electric (with juiced pickups). 1950's Gibson EM-200 electric mandolin. 1954 Gibson EM-150 electric mandolin. Custom made "Jett Pink" 5 string electric- Bo Diddley slab style. Jay Roberts Tiny Moore model 5 string electric.
My pic is a screen cap from the Plant/Krauss appearance on Jools Holland's TV show last week on the BBC and there was never a clear shot of the headstock to see any maker. This one was about as close as it got:
The F shape is the best. I think every intrument should come in an F shape if possible. the Les Paul has the same aesthetic feel to me, but not quite as good as the F.
"Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man."
Only thing that I can tell is that it has Carvin pickups.
