    Yes, Hans, this is strung with standard mandolin strings.  I haven't changed them in more than 3 years!

    Thanks for the idea to tune a mandolin to open G, Shane!

    I recently built one quite similar to the one you're playing and this makes it a lot easier to move from 4 string guitar to mandolin and back.

    I have a question though: Do you use a standard set of mandolin strings for this? My E-strings do not really sound good anymore since they became B strings...
