Are they tuned differently? Nash The Slash makes a big deal about not playing a guitar -- he plays an electric mandolin (also electric violin). It sounds a lot like an electric guitar though. (He does manage to make it sound heavier than just about any electric guitar I've ever heard.) Responses to me, please.
