In Brazil we invented this instrument back in 1940's and we have a large history behind it. It was invented as "Pau-Elétrico" (Electric Stick) by DODÔ and OSMAR in Bahia during second world war, and in the late 70's began to be called GUITARRA BAIANA.
We have many skilled players of this instrument here in Brazil, the most known is Armando Macedo, Osmar's son.
Thank you! The flatwound strings definetly helped with the intonation issues on the low C. Keep on rockin and inspiring fellow electric mandolin players!
Many mandolin players say they sound like Django, but they don't. You sound just like him! You are the best! Incredible. Please give us more. If you have any tabs please post them.

Guitarra Baiana limpa direto no amp, com um pouco de reverb. O captador é um EMG SA (o do braço). Valeu pelo comentário!

Do you have intonation problems with the C string on your FM- 60?
mandolinmountain 2 years ago
Not since i began to use flatwound strings on it. I use the 6th string of a D'daddario chromes set.
