Goldtone GM-110 mando?

[vcalcaterra]

Has anyone played one of these Rigel clones?
I'm thinking about getting an 8 string acoustic/electric for playing Jazz, and
the GM-110 looks good to me.

Yes I have one for a couple years and really like it seldom play pluged in but do play in a regular jam I even had a gibson player try it and complemented me on how good it sounded

I've had one of these for a few years, and it sounds great. I upgraded the pick-up to a top of the line Fishman, and it really improved the sound plugged in . Ever since I got my Breedlove w/Schertler pick-up, I don't play it much anymore. So it's avaliable, and in near new condition. Give me a holler if interested.

I saw in the archived past, a modified one , with a Kent Armstrong pickup , added by notching
the end of the fingerboard to be a shelf to fit the magnetic pickup.
dual channel , insert patch cable and a stereo jack allows each to be processed, EQ, etc. separately.
