Last night, on a DVD, I saw a group with someone playing and electric mando. Solid body-Are these mano's consttructed to sound like mandos (minus all amp games) or is it made to sound 'different'-like an electric mando?

Unamplified, there's no way that a solid body mandolin is going to sound
like a "regular" mandolin. That said, twisting knobs the right way, you
can probably make it sound the same amplified as an amplified "regular"
mando.

bears about the same sort of relationship to an acoustic mando as an electric guitar does to an acoustic guitar.crazymanmichael39091.4131828704
