Custom Harmony Arch Top Mando-Cello Conversion

Mandolin, guitar, and cello players all love these Harmony conversion instruments. These conversions are made when a vintage Harmony guitar is retrofitted for 8 strings and tuned like an Octave Mandolin, Bouzouki, or Mandocello. The heavy gauge strings on this one are tuned for a deep and low CGDA Mandocello tuning which booms out of the archtop body. The sunburst finish is in excellent condition after some touchup work and the refinished neck looks original but is young in comparison to the age of the instrument. A modern truss rod has been added for additional stability and allows room for adjustment of the neck bow. As one would expect a full refret has been done and the new frets show minimal signs of wear. This mandocello would make an excellent addition to the collection of a musician experienced in 5th interval tunings or a guitar player looking to mix things up. Also included is a vintage softshell case.
