Mando 12-String

Starting in Germany in the 16th Century the mandola has impacted music for centuries. And now we have continued the tradition in the Duesenberg way.

Jingle Jangle

The Mando 12-String delivers the beautiful and brilliant tone that is usually associated with Mandolins or Mandolas but plays like a small 12-string guitar in standard tuning. This means you can use all of your existing guitar skills to bring a completely new spin to your music.

Pickups

The Mando is equipped with a Duesenberg VintageClass singlecoil for the neck and a LittleToaster mini-humbucker for the bridge position. This combination makes the Mando’s sound incomparably brilliant and provides it with enough charm to break open the gates of heaven in nearly any musical context or genre. The Little Toaster and VintageClass pickups are precisely right for this kind of penetrating sound, which possesses bell-like clarity and brightness in every band context.
