Nugget Bouzouki

People ask about this instrument all the time. People think it's an old guitar converted to a mando thing, but it's really another triumph by Mike Kemnitzer of Nugget mandolins. Nugget wanted to make me either a mandola or an arched top guitar, so I said, "Hey, let's combine those ideas into an octave mandolin/bouzouki!" He finished it in 1989. It was an experiment that worked , and I don't know how I ever played music without this thing. I has four pairs of two strings like a mandolin. I tune it, low strings to high, thusly - gG / dD / AA / EE. (Cap letters mean an octave below a normal mando and the lower case letters mean the same octave as a mando, i.e., it has a twelve string guitar effect on the lower two pairs.) The pattern is a slightly shrunken version of the prewar Gibson L-5, ala Mother Maybell Carter. It has a satin finish that gives it a vintage look.
