I feel the same way as a I feel about my solid body electric violin, the acoustic sound is what makes the instrument and a solid body mandolin to me just sounds

  Have you heard other electric mandolins? This one sounds like an electric guitar to me as well, but it lacks the doubled strings which give an ordinary mandolin so much of its characteristic sound. It does not seem like a particularly useful comparison.

    I have not, the mando player in my band plays an acoustic with bridge pickup. It sounds fantastic and it's never caused feedback, so again why sacrifice the sound that makes these folk instruments what they are? If you want to shred or heavy warp the sound you can still do so. Maybe I'm just bitter on how much I spent on my electric fiddle only to never play it.
