Hybrid musical instruments have a long history, and that includes mandolin hybrids such as the mando-banjo.  In 2002, Gibson came out with a 6-string mandolin-guitar hybrid that sold for a pricey $3000 (unbelieveably, it's now selling for over $5,000).  It has a guitar neck and plays like a guitar, but one octave higher.  Goldtone then came out with their much more affordable $350 version of the 6-string mando-guitar, the Goldtone GM6 six-string mandolin, which I bought clearance priced for $199 (now sold out) at Woodwind & Brasswind (also owned now by Guitar Center).   This mando-guitar hybrid sells for about $300 or so elsewhere:
