Jonathan Mann's MANNdolins

DAG is now taking orders for Jonathan Mann's solid body Mandolins!

In Cliff's words: "DestroyAllGuitars is quite proud to offer you the electric mandolin designs of Jonathan Mann. We are particularly excited about his neck-through solid body which offers the richest tone and greatest sustain of any and all, and is the very model that I myself have chosen after a quest lasting several years that was inspired by the new school players of electric mandolin from around the world."

"If you're looking for the finest electric Mandolin with sustain and tone that rivals that of our favorite solid body guitar from 1959, then this is your instrument. The sunburst one pictured is my very own and it ended a long and costly search that was inspired by the playing of artists like U Srinivas and a few others. Jonathan Mann's solid body plays like a dream, has the most beautiful tone and greatest sustain of all the electric mandolins I've tried, and I've tried all that I could find. It is truly the '59 Les Paul of Electric mandolins."

"Jonathan can build it as an octave guitar/mandolin or as a standard mandolin with 4, 5 or 8 strings. He also offers a hollow electric, and standard acoustic mandolins as you will see when looking in our Mann section HERE."

We are now accepting orders for the solid body mandolin as well as all Jonathan's other creations.
