Jonathan Mann SEM-5 5 String Elecrtric Mandolin Early 2000s - Cherry Burst

Jonathan Mann SEM-5 Five-String Electric Mandolin – Cherry Burst

Asking price: $1,950

Custom-built Jonathan Mann (Manndolins) SEM-5 five-string electric mandolin, commissioned approximately 20 years ago and kept in exceptionally nice condition. It has been played very little and has spent most of its life protected in its hardshell case.

This is a solid-body five-string electric mandolin that extends the traditional mandolin range downward with the low C string. It is a beautifully made, unusual instrument that would be equally at home with a mandolin player looking to go electric or a guitarist interested in the five-string electric mandolin format.
