Was wondering if any of you Nashvillains (or visitors) have gotten a chance to play that amazing looking Engleman Ellis F5 at Gruhn's? I don't believe Tom usually builds with Engleman so I was curious as to the tonal qualities it has. Sure is a clean and amazing-looking mandolin...
the top is Red Spruce not Engleman, back & sides western bigleaf maple
Holy cow, that is a beautiful instrument.
Love the woods used.
Stunning top and back.
It is listed on their website as having an Engelmann top.
Must just be a mistake on Gruhn's side.

The silking on that top is stunning.
Wow, that is absolutely amazing! Can't figure out if I love the top or the back more.
Figured top and back.
