Pretty wild. Guitar Center San Bernardino has this listed as an A4 mandolin, but the fretboard extension gives it away: it's a mandola.
If that were an original refrigerator white finish, this would be ultra rare and super cool. (Such a thing could exist ... Frank Ford documented an original refrigerator white mandocello.) But the little strip of original finish in the rosette gives away the game, as does the fact that apart from the headplate, the ENTIRE MANDOLA is painted white.
It's listed here for $999, which is pretty cheap for a mandola if you don't mind playing something that looks like it sank the Pequod. (Photos may not be up on the listing yet; I got this photo from someone at the store.) Replacement tailpiece, tuners and bridge; pickguard missing.
