Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold Tone’s GME-5 expands an electric mandolin’s range with a low C string in CGDAE tuning. That extra note opens up lower chord voicings and extends solo lines beyond a four-string setup. Its alder body, stacked humbucking pickup, volume and tone controls, and adjustable compensated metal bridge make it a purpose-built electric instrument. The maple neck and fingerboard carry dot markers, while a padded gig bag is included for transport.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Playing lower chord voicings and wider-ranging solo parts on an electric five-string mandolin.
- Players who need CGDAE tuning with a dedicated low C string.
