NORTHFIELD ELEOCTO ELECTRIC OCTAVE MANDOLIN - OX AMBER

Features:

Essentially, this is an invitation and you’re invited to the celebration. This is a way for us to take all the different components of our musical backgrounds—coming from electric blues to classical mandolin (and everything in between), and blend them through the natural evolution of yet another familiar form factor. Knowing what makes up a really good acoustic mandolin or octave mandolin, and what makes a really great vintage electric guitar—fusing those ideas together to make something that feels just right…. This is our EleOcto. It’s a departure and a loop back to the origins at the same time. Made from solid spruce and red maple, it’s essentially what you’d expect in a mandolin’s make-up. Lightweight (chambered and 6 lbs or under) responsive and “chimey”, 8-strings, and a comfortable scale length, this thing feels and plays like a mandolin family instrument, not a mini electric novelty. And it growls. We’ve made this with the idea of enjoying the world that amplification and pedal effects reside in. Why should electric guitar players, or makers, get to have all the fun!?
