I've just acquired an AR , number 003. It has a wonderful tone. I'm looking forward to getting better acquainted with it...
Welcome to the club, Mr. Sheehy! Cool looking mandolin you have there, part Kimble, part Rigel... and I bet it sounds really great too.
I picked up some more info on the AR... Will designed and built this unique mandolin to use a Rigel neck. It has a sitka top with tonebar bracing, a beautiful one piece, highly figured, red maple back, oil varnish with French polish, Rigel neck with Graphite epoxy truss rod and Schaller tuners.
