8 string electric mandocello telecaster guitar, mandolin, Mandola, bouzouki

Mandocello Conversion made from a brand new Telecaster Electric Guitar

Tuning: CC GG DD AA
Scale Length: 25.5"

    This is an Electric Mandocello that I have modified from a brand new Harmonia Telecaster copy electric guitar. The color is black.
I like to call it a "tel-o-cello"
      I installed 2 new Ibanez sealed tuners. Devised a custom bridge ( fully compensating for string height, intonation, and spacing). Modified the nut And did a full setup on the instrument for great playability. The results are great, the instrument plays very well with good tone, sustain, and intonation.
    The strings used for the mandocello are: CC (0.064) - GG (0.042) - DD (0.026) - AA (0.016p). The strings are standard Ernie Ball nickel ball end electric guitar, which are readily available. With the double course setup, you could choose to string it with octave strings on the mandocello setup, or just about any tuning you can think of with thinner strings. You could also use it as a huge octave mandolin or double course tenor guitar with different string sets.

    So if the idea of a mandocello has intrigued you, this will be a great starter to spark your creativity.

Remember, this is NOT an electric guitar. It is an electric mandocello. If you've ever priced a mandocello, then you know that they are exceedingly expensive due to their rarity. Electric mandocellos are even more rare than acoustics!
