Rover RM-25E Acoustic-Electric Mandolin

March 09, 2018

Value in an acoustic electric mandolin. The new Rover RM-25E mandolin includes a single coil pickup that allows you to plug-in with acoustic tone, yet still help prevent feedback in high-volume situations. There is a volume and control knob in the traditional location and this has a shortened pick guard that also is used to mount the mandolin pickup.

The RM-25E uses maple for the top back, sides and neck.The body fingerboard and headstock are all bound. Surprisingly it has a bone nut, which is rare for this price point. Not bad at all for a low cost acoustic/electric mandolin.
