Love the design and tone!

Very nice, great bluegrass tone!!! Keep it up...

Sounds really great...nice work!

Nice! Looks and sounds terrific. And you can tell the guy likes it. He has "that look."

Hi everyone, here are a couple of mandolin setup walkthrough videos. Long, but hopefully engaging. Not saying this is the right way, or the only way, to do things. But it's the way I do it. Today, at...

I think this guy wants someone to give him an Autodesk (Autocad) file containing the drawing instructions for f-holes, for example, to cut these f-holes using a CNC mill. But he spelled it wrong! He...
