2008 Godin A8 Acoustic/Electric Mandolin

Godin recently discontinued these mandolins and so it's going to be harder to find them. They're a really nice variant on the usual Godin acoustic/electric design as they actually have plenty of volume and punch to sit-in on an acoustic session without being plugged-in. The video for this guy is proof of that concept -- I was shocked, frankly, at how much these put out. It's no bluegrass chopper but it works just fine.

It also has a good plugged-in sound and can be rocked on loud and funky stages, too, without feedback trouble. So: a win.

I'd recently restrung and set this up for its owner so it's ready to go and playing spot-on, with a fresh 9V in the back for the preamp.
