Very tele-ish, and not just visually.

I love all of this guy's videos! As cheesy as the accompaniment can be, he really gets after it and picks!

[Elliot Luber]

Wow, that's great! Thanks for finding this. Sometime when I have time, I'll have to figureout what he's playing and how to do this.

[Dfyngravity]

I'd say he had played the mandolin a few times before. Really smooth, clean and tasteful playing there.

Looks like a Saga kit to me.....just goes to show you don`t have to pay out a fortune to get a great sound!

[Elliot Luber]

Yeah, he's getting pretty even tone out of what appears to be the stock lipstick pickup. Must have done something to it.

Especially if you are as good a player as he clearly is. Just such a smooth style, perfect timing, excellent!

[earnest]

wicked good! He should be teaching at some mando camp! I'd like to hear what he does with a good bridge p/u. eck

[Barry Wilson]

Great sound.... so tell me, a 5 string would have a B string on the top? seeing stuff like this is making me want an electric mandolin

[Ed Goist]

Man,that is some great pickin'! This fellow has several e-mando videos out there, and they are all great.

Pipeous, a 5th string on a regular scale e-mando is a C on the bass side, while a 5th string on an electric octave mandolin is a B on the treble side.

I'm thinkin' about a Saga Kit now!!!

[Barry Wilson]

Thanks. a C huh? The have 4 and 8 string mandobirds at my local shop pretty cheap. but having that extra string would be cool. grrr. why did I open this thread. thought my mas was in check

[Lee]

The extra fifth string, being on the low side, is a C. Essentially makes them a mandolin/mandola combo.

[Barry Wilson]

well I've only been able to find 4 string saga kits. it would cost me less to just get a mandobird locally. the hunt has started now.

[terzinator]

Yeah, the saga kits are 4-string, that I've seen.

There's another thread about the Moongazer kits, and they have a cool 5-string kit.

here's the moongazer site:
