    I bought this mandolin several years ago. I think it was a prototype for an instrument that as to be built in China. It has a pop out battery to power the pick up. The back and sides feel like plastic. There are no interior or exterior labels

    Can anyone identify it.

    thanks. Bob Goldberg

    But look like wood underneath? That would probably be a polyurethane finish. The headstock looks like a Tacoma, reasonable decent mid-line instruments from the '90s & '00s. Tacoma was bought by Fender and then disappeard.

    Tacoma's teardrop "paisley" soundhole, toward the upper treble bout (if there was one!) was a thing, but I don't recall having seen a Tacoma arch-top / f-hole of any kind.
