Airline H35 Batwing Mandolin Black
Pairs well with
Story
If you're familiar with our Airline Series, then you already know we're massive fans of Harmony and their guitars of the '50s and '60s. But perhaps one of their most unique and eye-catching models was no guitar at all: the H35 "Batwing" Mandolin!
The Batwing maintains the elegance of a traditional F-Style mandolin, but trades the curves for a sharper and more distinctive look. Originals were designed as an archtop hollowbody, but their massive neck block detracted from nearly all gains in that regard. Rather than match this detail, we're making a couple of key changes to our tribute Batwing to further cement it as a true player's electric mandolin.
The Airline H35 Batwing features a flat-top, tone-chambered body for weight relief and added resonance. It is equipped with a fixed hard-tail bridge with fully-adjustable saddles for each string pair, and a single humbucking pickup to make dialling in your ideal tone a breeze. Just plug in, and play!
