Gold Tone GME-5 5-String Solid Body Mandolin

Gold Tone GME-5: 5-String Solid Body Mandolin with Gig Bag

The Gold Tone GME-5 redefines electric mandolin performance by expanding the tonal range with a fifth string — the low C, blending the registers of a mandolin and mandola into one sleek, solid-body instrument. Built with a solid alder body and a smooth maple neck, it combines modern craftsmanship with a vintage cream gloss finish that stands out on any stage. Every detail of the GME-5 reflects Gold Tone’s commitment to precision, durability, and professional tone.

Powered by a dual-rail mini humbucker, the GME-5 delivers clear, powerful output with zero feedback — ideal for live shows and amplified sessions. Its compensated cast-metal bridge guarantees accurate intonation and easy string height adjustments, while the radiused maple fingerboard ensures effortless playability across all five strings. The extended range offers richer chord voicings, deeper harmonics, and enhanced soloing potential, opening up entirely new creative possibilities for adventurous musicians.

Perfect for professional mandolinists, crossover guitarists, and multi-genre performers, the GME-5 is designed for those who demand versatility and expanded range in an electric mandolin. Whether you’re playing jazz, swing, fusion, or progressive acoustic-electric styles, this 5-string powerhouse delivers exceptional comfort, sustain, and tonal flexibility in a lightweight 4 lb build.

Each instrument is professionally set up by Gold Tone’s U.S. workshop for perfect playability, tonal response, and balance right out of the case. Every GME-5 is inspected, tuned, and tested to meet performance-ready standards.
