Yes, get the instrument you like by playability and switch the single coil with a stacked humbucker. Other than rewiring one for the other, you won't need to modify the instrument.

Check the www.mandolincafe.net link to "eye candy" and click on pictures of electrics to get information about individual builders and their mandolins. Their are lots of them.

Don't like single coils? In a pinch you could use a noise gate and decent EQ.

Peace, Mooh.
