The Gold Tone GME-5 redefines versatility in the mandolin world — combining the tonal range of both a mandolin and a mandola in one beautifully crafted instrument. With its extended low C string, this five-string model opens new harmonic and melodic possibilities, allowing players to explore complex chord voicings and expanded soloing capabilities. Built with a solid alder body and a slim maple neck, the GME-5 delivers excellent sustain, comfort, and playability. Its dual-rail mini humbucker provides a warm, punchy tone with zero feedback, while the compensated metal bridge ensures perfect intonation and consistent string response. Finished in a stunning cream high-gloss, it’s as eye-catching as it is expressive. Complete with a padded gig bag, this U.S.-set-up instrument from Gold Tone is ready for the stage or studio straight out of the box — perfect for adventurous players seeking an instrument that bridges tradition and innovation.
