Condensed Sonic Power: Gold Tone’s Solidbody Mandolin Have you ever wanted to merge the sheer sonic power of an electric guitar with a mandolin? So did Gold Tone, which spawned the creation of the GME-4 4-string solidbody mandolin. With this instrument, Gold Tone captures the essence of mandolin sound and combines it successfully with amplification from a humbucking pickup. To achieve this sound, the company started with a solid piece of alder for the body and maple for the neck and fingerboard. The body — flaunting an organically shaped pickguard, two cutaways, and top hat knobs — exemplifies the GME-4’s merger of modern-day playability and mandolin mainstays.
