Twelve strings and a shortened scale of 39 cm (15.5 in.) are two of the most noteworthy features of the Duesenberg mando guitar. This combination makes the Mando’s sound incomparably brilliant and provides it with enough charm to break open the gates of heaven in nearly any musical context or genre! 

The Little Toaster and singlecoil pickups are precisely right for this kind of penetrating sound, which possesses bell-like clarity and brightness in every band context. The modern Duesenberg Z Tuners with ridged cylinder-shaped knobs, as well as the 12-string bridge enabling octave purity through the individual adjustment of each string, ease the life of a 12-string mando guitarist to an enormous degree. 

Duesenberg Mandola 12-String Guitars are tuned an octave higher than ordinary 12-string guitars and also come with Duesenberg DSM08 strings (008/008 – 010/010 – 013/013 – 012/022 – 014/032 – 022/042). These are available at all Duesenberg retailers or through our online shop.
