Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Properly speaking it's an octave guitar (an octave higher than standard guitar tuning) with a mandolin body. Well made, even and smooth sides to the frets, sounds good.
String tension is high, but this possibly is one of the sources of the proper tone.
Doesn't sound exactly like a mandolin but it's in the infield -- well more than in the ballpark. For guitarists it's a play-right-now instrument which is fun. If, like me, your hands are kinda large for a real mandolin it will take a little practice, but it rewards the effort.

The Gold Tone GM-6 is designed for guitarists and is tuned one octave higher than a standard 6-string guitar. It can provide the chop rhythm for bluegrass or country music without learning mandolin. The radiused fingerboard and wider neck allows for easier fingering making this instrument very playable. String action is super low and lead lines may be played very rapidly. This is a must instrument for guitarists in bluegrass jams and lends itself well in recording applications.
