My mandolin teacher many years ago (the mid '70s) played a cool solid electric which I've never seen anywhere else. It's not impossible he made it himself but it was a high quality instrument.
I have no photo but as far as I recall it was a solid mahogany (?) body but almost completely covered with an ivory coloured thick plastic scratch plate.
It had four strings and a narrow nut with a radiused fretboard that was quite pronounced in it's curvature. May have had a scroll - cant quite recall now.
There was something a bit like Tiny Moore's Bigsby about it... It could have been a British make....
Anyway if anyone has an idea what it might have been - id be interested to track down another!
Is there an archive of electric mando photos I could browse anywhere?
Cheers,
Marc
