Anyone have any experience with these?
I'm relatively new to mandolin, but have found learning it to be straight-forward and enjoyable. While it's a superb instrument, I find it hard to sing along with as I play (I'm sort of tenor and I get drowned out). I've tried to teach myself guitar in the past, but while I enjoy the rich deep sound for accompaniment, don't enjoy playing it very much.
It seems like a great solution would be a guitar-bodied octave mandolin, thus coupling the rich deep sound box with a fretboard that makes sense to me. Would this be a violation of nature's laws?
