A Tiny Ton Of Fun

by Hal from Miami, FL USA
September 28, 2011
Music Background: Pro player/educator/engineer
What this is REALLY is a mandolin-scale electric guitar. There are 4 single strings (not courses). Straight out of the box it tuned up and played great. Construction is very solid for the price & c... read more [+]omes with nice gig-bag. I am having A TON OF FUN playing this thing! I can make it sound like a mando but also i can bend, pull, hammer and all the other electric tricks. I have just begun scratching the surface of what's possible by running through my guitar effects. FUN/COST = Blown away! close [-]

Epiphone Mandobird-IV

by Lou Paliani from San Antonio, Texas
January 17, 2012
Music Background: a lot of years.
Positive: Very good quality..tone is good
Negative: After adjustment and set up....intonation will not adjust without major change as replacement of adjustment screws with a longer reach.
... read more [+] Playability is ok...not that great.
I have to tune it according to the recording I'm doing so it will record in tune. I get it to work...but it takes attention as it will sound out of tune as you go up the scale if not modified.
For the price...OK...but you should know what you are buying. close [-]
