Zeke writes, from Lyons, Colorado: "This is a prototype of my 5-string acoustic/electric mando. It has a 15-inch scale length and a 2/3-scale Benedetto-style archtop cutaway body. It has a great acoustic sound and a really jazzy sound with the Kent Armstrong pickup. The volume control is a stealth thumbwheel under the rounded corner of the finger-rest."
