The Recording King RAM-3-BK Dirty 30s delivers the classic old-time sound troubadours and multi-instrumentalists look for without the price tag of a vintage instrument. Its solid spruce top provides the traditional mandolin “chop” and projection needed for ensemble playing, while maple back and sides balance brightness with woody warmth.
The maple neck carries a thin “C” profile on a dovetail joint, with a Revebond fretboard, compensated adjustable ebony bridge and open-gear tuners with ivory buttons. Ivory body binding and an authentic mini-Recording King Jubilee peghead inlay finish the look, all wrapped in a bold satin black finish.

The Gold Tone F-6+ is a one-of-a-kind F-style mando-guitar tuned standard EADGBE — guitar chords, guitar feel, mandolin soul. Built on a larger Artist-style F-body with a solid spruce top, radiused rosewood fingerboard, and a 15″ scale that actually lets you play barre chords near the nut, it sounds bigger and responds more freely than any short-scale manditar we’ve played. A bridge-mounted transducer pickup means you’re plug-in ready right out of the case, and it arrives factory set up by Gold Tone in Titusville, Florida, with a hard foam case included.
The Gold Tone F-6 is a six-string mando-guitar tuned to standard EADGBE — think of it as a guitar that shrank just enough to be genuinely fun, with a solid spruce top, F-style maple body, 15" scale, and a built-in bridge transducer pickup. It plays guitar chords and riffs with a bright, punchy voice that cuts through any mix, and it comes ready to plug in and play. A hard foam case is included, and every F-6 ships with a professional factory setup from Gold Tone in Titusville, Florida.
The Gold Tone Mandola is a beautifully crafted Celtic-voiced instrument tuned CGDA — a fifth below the mandolin — with a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, built-in transducer pickup, and a gig bag included. It delivers rich, warm tone ideally suited to Irish traditional music, old-time sessions, and acoustic ensembles of all kinds. Every instrument receives a professional factory setup at Gold Tone in Titusville, Florida before it ships.
This is the left-handed version of the Gold Tone GME-4, a double-cutaway solid body electric mandolin built for players who want real amplified grunt — from Texas Swing and hillbilly jazz to rock and roll. The alder body, dual-rail mini humbucker, and ZeroGlide nut make this a serious working instrument at a seriously approachable price. Includes a padded gig bag and is professionally set up at the Gold Tone factory in Titusville, Florida before shipping.
The Gold Tone GME-6 is a 6-string solid body electric mando-guitar tuned EADGBE, just like a standard guitar, but on a 13-7/8" mandolin-scale neck. A dual-rail mini humbucker delivers warm, feedback-free tone through a solid alder body, and the slim maple neck makes it immediately comfortable for guitarists who want mandolin-scale voicings without learning a new tuning. Every GME-6 is professionally set up at Gold Tone's factory in Titusville, FL. Padded gig bag included.
The Gold Tone F-10 is a uniquely voiced 10-string mandolin that adds a low C course to the standard mandolin tuning, giving you the range of both a mandolin and a mandola in one beautifully built instrument. Built on a larger F-style body with a solid spruce top, Gold Tone’s patented Zero Glide nut, and a built-in bridge transducer pickup, it’s ready for the stage and the studio right out of the case. Every F-10 receives a professional factory setup at Gold Tone in Titusville, Florida before shipping.
The Gold Tone GM-70+/L is the left-handed version of Gold Tone's flagship F-style mandolin, built with all-solid wood construction — carved solid spruce top, solid maple back and sides — and appointed with gold-plated hardware, a radiused ebony fretboard, bone nut, and a cast-brass tailpiece. This is a serious instrument for left-handed players who refuse to compromise on tone or craftsmanship. It ships with a hardshell case and receives a professional factory setup at Gold Tone in Titusville, Florida before shipping.
