Joel Eckhaus of Earnest Instruments in Maine is now retired, but produced a boatload of attractive and innovative instruments while he was at it. Here's one: a "Boomerang" 5-string electric mandolin. It's one of the few e-mandos you'll find with a multi-scale fretboard: it uses the Novax fanned fret system, which seeks to optimize intonation by giving each string a slightly different scale length. (Players report that this is easier to get used to than it looks.)
Vaguely Gibson-inspired shape. Mahogany body and neck with a warm honey finish; ebony fretboard; Grover tuners and multiple string trees. Pearloid plastic pickguard. Lipstick pickup; chrome bridge/tailpiece with adjustable saddles; tone and volume controls. Good condition. Boomerangs weren't made in great numbers and are quite difficult to find. Rectangular hardshell case included.
