They could have come up with a better model name for it....

[franzbassist]

The new electric [url="http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/fuk_ms.html"]mandolin[/url] from Fender Japan

[HowieBass]

Looks like one of those inflatable guitars and the positioning of the knobs (fnarr, fnarr) looks odd. So therefore an entirely appropriate name...

[MB1]

MB1.
Your never alone with a Fuk-Ms?
(Hopefully unabreviated?)

[chrismuzz]

I can't imagine anyone looking at that and thinking "I need this in my life"

[KingBollock]

It looks like a bass that has shrunk in the wash.

[KK Jale]

Ain't no mandolin, that's an electro uke. Eeek!

Always liked the old mandolins. I remember reading a thing with Suzi Quatro where she said she was given a matching one for free when she bought a custom colour Jazz Bass...

[AntLockyer]

I'd love an original.

[iiipopes]

I've played an original '50's Fender mandolin. Meh. Now, this new instrument - gives a brand new meaning to the old tuning song for ukes: my dog has fleas.

[JapanAxe]

IMO they all need another 4 strings!

Exactly my thoughts too

This is my nearest to a Fender mandolin, Tele copy neck, Encore mandolin neck, still in the making.

Where did you get your tele copy neck from? I have an old homebrew tele with a warped neck and I'm trying to source a decent new one for it.

That doubleneck is [i]kinky[/i]... I wonder if you could put Ubass strings on it...

It's a FUK'in orgy! (I hope that pun isn't too offensive)

This seller is fine to deal with. I also bought an all maple from him at the same time. Both necks are excellent.
