New electric mandolin -- "Maid Behind the Bar"

This is a video that's a two-for. On the one hand, this is a new electric mandolin (an Epiphone Mandobird IV) given to me by my late uncle, Robert Thacker, who played a huge role in my taking up music. On the other hand, it's a tune that's been recorded many times before but was requested on mandolin by the user Guitar1201. Hope you don't mind that's it's on an electric, buddy.

that was excellent - in your hands, that's a lovely sounding instrument - bravo!

Cheers, Bill! I'm sure the new instrument appeal will wear off at some point, but in the meantime, I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

normally i think that the IV lacks the true sound of a mandolin but this changed my mind this was brilliant playing well done!

is it worth getting 200 bucks for that electric mandolin?

:D

Great job man, I find your pick hand is at an unusual angle, just the camera angle or something you naturally do?

[ClockworkFacility1]

You know, the original p bass pickups came off an electric mandolin, i wonder if that inspired the pickup here.

do these require an acoustic amp?
