zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Electrify your mandolin playing! With a specially designed pickup and solid alder body, this double-cutaway mando offers an unforgettable playing experience.

With an upgraded design for modern players, Fender's eight-string Mando-Strat 8 has the unmistakably chiming ring of a traditional mandolin and the charmingly distinctive design style of Fender's four-string electric mandolins of the 1950s and '60s.

Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
This is a beautiful instrument that not only looks good but produces the sound to match. I was quite surprised when I plugged it into a amp and heard a true mandolin sound coming out. This instrument is well worth the money. If any mandolin players have been hesitant in trying a solid body 8 string because of true mandolin tone concerns, Fender has come through.
