Gold Tone Mandolins are a top contender in the sub $1000 range. In addition to the standard F-Models, we also find some instruments that are more difficult to come by. These include a Rigel licensed acoustic/electric, a banjolin, an oval hole and a great little six string mandolin tuned as an octave guitar (every guitarist should have one).
A Gold Tone Mandolin specifically made with the guitarist in mind. This mandolin is strung and tuned just like a guitar (one octave higher). This is great for the guitarist that wants to add a little mandolin to a performance or recording.

A good quality laminated instrument. The Gold Tone GM-30 Mandolin offers the bluegrass player an F-model at a very affordable price. A laminated spruce top means the tone will be somewhat muted. Overall good workmanship. Includes a foam Hardshell case.
