Fylde Mandolas look exactly the same as the bouzouki except for having a longer neck.
I actually swapped the bouzouki for the mandola version and I am much happier with it. It is not actually the Touchstone version, as it was custom made with a cedar top, where as they usually use spruce. This is a wonderful instrument with a very powerful bass response. I jump between the GDad and GDae tuning alot on this one, seems to work well for both! The bouzouki went to New Zealand, for a great musician called Bob Mc Neil, the mandola was used on his first album.
The Bouzouki had a Headway pick up installed, and the Mandola has a martin pick up.
