In a reddit ama, a fan asks Satriani, "Hey Joe just a simple question. Have tried other string instruments and which is your favorite?"

Satriani: "I just acquired an Emerald 12 string/mandolin hybrid guitar made with carbon fiber. I'm really fascinating with it right now, it's a great instrument.

You can use your guitar chops to get the mandolin sound."

Satriani later sold the Amicus on Reverb.com via Bananas at Large. The lisiting reveals that it is an Opus model.
