zZounds Gear Experts Say...
The Gold Tone F-6 Plus sports the timeless tone of a mandolin with the feel of a guitar -- boasting a rosewood fingerboard with an extended 15" scale length.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Solid spruce top Punchy, articulate and warm sound
Solid maple back and sides Balanced, resonant tone
Rosewood fretboard Open, warm tone and smooth playing feel
Compound-radius fretboard Flatter feel moving up neck; increased playability

The Gold Tone F-6+ mando-guitar is built using a larger "Artist" or F-Style mandola body to increase the volume of the air chamber. This means more volume, better low-end response, and just the right timbre (tone).

Compared to previous Gold Tone manditar models, the F-6 and F-12 each have an extended 15" scale length, allowing for more fingering room with barre chords possible near the nut. A patented Zero Glide nut helps maintain tuning stability and allows for the lowest possible string action. The fretboard is radiused for comfort and the ebony bridge contains a built-in pickup for easy plugged-in playing. Bottom line is, this guitar variant offers a great additional voice for use in the recording studio, in a band, a solo gig, or just to jam with.

If you want to achieve a mandolin sound without learning to play the mandolin, this does the trick. With its shorter scale length, the F-6+ works well with open tunings, so you can focus more on single or harmonic notes while strumming.

Whether you want to add a new color to songs that you have been playing for years or seeking entirely new sounds, the F-6+ will spark your imagination.
