1956 FenderMandocaster – Blond


Here we have a wonderful example of a first-year 1956 Fender Mandocaster! This Electric Mandolin features a beautiful Blond finish over Ash body with a gold anodized guard. These almost look like mini Stratocasters, hence the nickname! Complete with four strings and a mini single coil pickup, this Mandocaster sings like a bird. Except for some nicks and dings, this completely original Fender oddity is in wonderful condition for its age and would be a welcomed addition for any Fender fan!

Overall Condition:  9.5, small marks and wear to the pickguard hold this from a perfect 10, but it’s certainly fit for any museum!
