I have this idea to "build" a practice / travel mandolin that would fit in a small suitcase. It involves buying a cheap solid-body electric mandolin and cutting off most of the body so what's left is a playable mandolin that resembles a 2x4. If I thought I might actually want to play it through an amp (seems unlikely), I might avoid cutting off the parts with the wiring and pots. My question is: Am I a genius or completely nuts?
