Gold Tone Mandocello - Tobacco Sunburst

Description: Expressive Low-end Tone for Soloists and Folk Outfits The mandocello’s lineage dates back hundreds of years, tracking back to the bass mandolins of the late Baroque period and up through their peak popularity during the 1920s and 1930s. And while the historic instruments of the past saw frequent A- and F-style body shapes, Sweetwater mandolinists love how Gold Tone’s mandocello utilizes a Venetian-style single-cut body reminiscent of an archtop, providing maximum comfort whether you’re playing over the knee or standing up onstage. Like a traditional mandolin, the Gold Tone Mandocello is tuned in fifths; however, it starts with C instead of G, allowing this unique folk piece to unearth some deeper, hidden tones. Built with maple and topped with spruce, plus a gorgeous rosewood fingerboard, the Mandocello offers a traditionally woody and balanced tone with articulate playability that more than fits the territory. With an accompanying jazz-style humbucker and bridge-mounted Sweetwater is an Authorized Gold Tone Dealer Genuine New Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty and 55 point inspection Gold Tone Mandocello - Tobacco Sunburst Mandocello with Maple Back and Sides, Spruce Top, and Rosewood Fingerboard - Tobacco Sunburst Expressive Low-end Tone for Soloists and Folk Outfits The mandocello’s lineage dates back hundreds of years, tracking back to the bass mandolins of the late Baroque period and up through their peak popularity during the 1920s and 1930s.

An all-maple body with a solid spruce top channels the expert formula of so many revered acoustic guitars, which helps extract the purest, most balanced and rich natural tone the mandocello has to offer. Its hollow, archtop-esque design with double “F”-holes allows for excellent projection, even at its lowest registers. The 20 easily accessible frets across its rosewood fingerboard provide an enormous palette of mandolin sounds down the octave, with a plucky low-end hum, definitive midrange, and silky smooth treble. When your performance calls for more volume, a jazz-style floating magnetic humbucker pickup at the base of the neck translates the warm and low tones of the mandocello beautifully, boasting a bonus transducer at the bridge. A set of accompanying volume and blend controls afford you the shaping freedom to track down the perfect tone for the tune at hand, ensuring the natural song of your mandocello isn’t lost when amplified. From “folkternative” to bluegrass to traditional Welsh balladry, the mandocello will achieve it all with acclaim.Dressed with the best This stunning Gold Tone instrument comes outfitted with a strong and sustain-favoring Pakkawood tailpiece with an adjustable ebony bridge and 2-way adjustable truss rod, letting you configure the perfect playing feel that sits right during every performance, large and small.

Fifteen years later, they founded Gold Tone Banjos in Titusville, Florida. Their first product, the TB-100 banjo, was designed by Wayne. As demand for this critically acclaimed instrument increased, the company expanded its offerings to include a selection of fretted instruments that combine modern innovation and timeless vintage design. The goal? To inspire all musicians, from beginners to professionals, to realize their musical dreams. Today, Sweetwater is pleased to offer you Gold Tone’s exciting range of 4-, 5-, and 6-string banjos, banjo ukuleles, metal- and wood-bodied resonator guitars, Weissenborn Hawaiian steel guitars, and mandolins.Gold Tone Mandocello Features: All-maple body with spruce top creates an earthy, balanced, and articulate tonal palette Venetian-style single-cut archtop body with double “F”-holes supplies comfortable playing feel and excellent projection Gorgeous rosewood fingerboard offers 20 easily accessible frets for playability through all registers Jazz-style floating magnetic humbucker neck pickup with bridge-mounted transducer beautifully translates natural tone for high-volume performances Volume and blend controls enable effortless tonal balancing and shaping while amplified Pro-grade hardware all around, including Pakkawood tailpiece, patented Zero Glide Nut, and sealed guitar-style tuners Adjustable ebony bridge and 2-way adjustable truss rod allow you to set up the Mandocello to your exact specifications SpecificationDetail Type Acoustic-electric Body Shape Mandocello Color Tobacco Sunburst Finish Gloss Top Material Spruce Body Material Maple Fingerboard Material Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay Dots Number of Frets 20 Scale Length 24.875" Nut Material ZeroGlide Nut Width 1.5" Tuners Sealed Hardware Chrome Electronics Magnetic Pickup & Bridge Transducer, Volume Control, Blend Knob Strings .070w, .044w, .034w, .020w (Doubled) Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
