Doesn't Sam Bush have a Fender electric mandolin with a whammy bar? I think i saw it in one of his videos, i might be wrong. that i know of, these didn't come with one. how would you put one in an already made mandolin? is it like an extension of the bridge, or do you have to make some space inside the mandolin for some inner part of it? i know nothing about these except that they make a cool sound,

The one my husband made is external, he made a new tailpiece and whammy bar along with a self made roller bridge. I'll admit it's a really cool sound. p.s. my husbands has an 8 string mandolin, he's been playing songs from The Shadows, Brian Setzer, etc.; the whammy bar has increased the type of music he can play on the mandolin.

Here's a YouTube link of my husband testing his whammy bar mandolin. FYI: my husband is Dutch, that's why the strong accent. I hope you enjoy the clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EaQna5wONg

nice my boss gt -10 has a similar feature in its effects patches. only you use the foot pedal instead of the bar. great work
