a
Fun hybrid instrument that is hard to put down.
anarchosaxophonist 04.11.2026
The Gold Tone A6 Mando Guitar is a hybrid instrument. It has a sound of it's own. Not quite mandolin and definitely not guitar. Purists might not like the sound, but as I already play quite a bit of mandolin, I wasn't looking for an instrument to mimic something that I already have.

Having a background in wind instruments, I have gradually been trying to learn some stringed instruments - mainly mandolin. I find acoustic guitars big and clunky - something that you almost have to drape your body over. The Mando Guitar is basically the same size as a mandolin, but with a slightly thicker body, compared to A style mandolins. Very comfortable for learning the standard guitar tuning.

For guitar players that have little or no mandolin experience, while the chord fingerings are the same as a guitar, it may prove to be a bit of a challenge to fit your fingers within the fret spacing, as there is less room. It should be possible with some practice, but using simplified chords could also work.

All in all, I am quite satisfied with this product.

Good build quality, nice finish, good lucks and a pickup installed as standard! What's not to like? Delivered on time, if the packaging was over-large (same size box as a guitar) - understand it makes things easier and simpler for Thomann, but wasteful all the same and adds to the recycling. Please rethink.

Déception !
La graine ! 23.10.2021
Sur le papier, cet instrument hybride était intéressant. Mais une fois en main... Aïe !

La qualité de fabrication est une vraie honte. A 485€, on est en droit d'espérer un instrument aux finitions correctes, et bien pas chez Gold Tone. Même les Harley Benton à 80€ que j'ai vu passer étaient 10x mieux finies.

Voici la liste des défauts de l'instrument (j'en ai commandé deux, retourné les deux)

- binding / filets pleins de bavures de peinture noire car scotch de masquage posé n'importe comment.

- teinte mal appliquée sur les éclisses, une zone brune foncée, avec un liseré d'un ou deux millimètres couleur érable...

- la table présentait des traces de gouttes SOUS le vernis, comme si il avait plu dessus, des auréoles sous le vernis, horrible.

- l'un des deux modèles était littéralement criblé de petites gouttes blanches de je ne sais quoi

- fissure à la base du manche

- sillet avec frette zéro trop haut, bords pointus blessants avec de la colle qui sort de partout, un travail de cochon.

- mécaniques ultra cheap, les mêmes que sur aliexpress pour 5€...

Dommage, le concept était intéressant, mais presque 500€ pour un instrument aussi mal fini, ça frise l'escroquerie.
