Duesenberg Mandola 12-String in Black

Presenting the Duesenberg Mandola Electric 12-String in Black.

Starting in Germany in the 16th Century the mandola has impacted music for centuries. And now Duesenberg has modernized that tradition with the electric Mandola 12-String. Think of it as a combination of a Nashville tuned guitar and an electric 12-string. Now you can play mandolin-esque licks using your favorite guitar fingerings and techniques.

This little beast features a 39cm = 15.3 inch scale, with a set in maple neck into an alder body.

The Mandola comes with Duesenberg's new Toaster pickup in combination with a small Duesenberg single coil. Duesenberg Z-Tuners with round buttons and the full adjustable 12-string bridge, will allow you to set the perfect intonation on each string. This new Mandola guitar will give you a new tool in your Duesenberg arsenal.

Twelve strings and a shortened scale of 39 cm (15.5 in.) are two of the most noteworthy features of the Duesenberg mando guitar. This combination makes the Mando’s sound incomparably brilliant and provides it with enough charm to break open the gates of heaven in nearly any musical context or genre!

The Little Toaster and singlecoil pickups are precisely right for this kind of penetrating sound, which possesses bell-like clarity and brightness in every band context. The modern Duesenberg Z Tuners with ridged cylinder-shaped knobs, as well as the 12-string bridge enabling octave purity through the individual adjustment of each string, ease the life of a 12-string mando guitarist to an enormous degree.

Duesenberg Mandola 12-String Guitars are tuned an octave higher than ordinary 12-string guitars and also come with Duesenberg DSM08 strings (008/008 – 010/010 – 013/013 – 012/022 – 014/032 – 022/042)
