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.
A solid body that features big sound chambers for enhanced tone and weight reduction. Particularly characteristic tone somewhere between a solid and semi-hollow construction.
The LittleToaster Mini-Humbucker at the bridge and the VintageClass Singlecoil at the neck position are a dream team when it comes to open and transparent tone with a lot of clarity.
A pleked fretboard guarantees perfectly level frets. This is the basis for our fret polishing and setup work all done by hand that eventually makes our instruments play like nothing you have ever played before.
