Description
Fender helped pioneer the solid body electric mandolin back in the '50s and '60s with a four string model. This cute little modern reissue is a call back to those early models for a sliver of the price. Very clean, still has plastic on the pickups, basically new! Please do not confuse this with a ukulele, it's a much cooler and more important beast. It's more than happy playing both genres of mandolin forward folk music, the American on about hating the police and the Irish one about hating the English. Made in Indonesia, comes with a great hard case. "And now every April I sit on my porch
And I watch the parade pass before me
I see my old comrades, how proudly they march
Reliving their dreams of past glory
I see the old men, all twisted and torn
The forgotten heroes of a forgotten war
And the young people ask me, "What are they marching for?"
And I ask myself the same question
And the band plays Waltzing Matilda
And the old men still answer the call
But year after year their numbers get fewer
Some day no one will march there at all" The Pouges - And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda
