Most of my koa experience is in guitars, and all-koa guitars have all sounded brittle to me
Wow, congratulations!

Love my Big Muddy, but I can only compare it to my Eastman F style
After a set up and truss adjustment, my 8 string Eastwood works well for quiet practice, and feels right. I don't plug it in if I am trying to be quiet, I just use the acoustic sound. Plugged in...
Augie was building in Clearwater Florida, now his daughter is with him. They won the LoPrinzi name back and are using that.

I like the funky look of that mandolin.
This is my 1981 Augustino CM-20. It sounds great. Got El-Kabonged by a drunk in a bar fight when I was out on break, so the back has a rough cleat. Refinished...
I bought the Crossrock fiberglass case on Amazon, but the fit is not exact.

They have a number of instruments in this MRG series. I am tempted by their resonator guitar...

I get a good clean sound, more "acoustic-y" than I expected.
Back from the tech today. Action became comfortable with just an adjustment to truss and intonation set.
It plays really nice. The sound through an amp is good. A lot of adjustment via the tone...
Sorry, not performing much yet with mandolin, but here's my Logan Custom Tele

Much to my chagrin, it took me almost 1 year of membership here to realize that O.M. was not Orchestra Model, as in guitars.
I humbly submit myself to any corrective measures called for.
OK is OK with me! Hasn't come back from set up yet.
If it plays nice, I will be happy. Not my primary instrument, and I truly enjoy my acoustic mandolins.

That has a very suspicious similarity to the saddest ukulele I ever bought. The unique pear shape, coloring, and f-holes look the same, as do the various bits of hardware. Not saying it's a sad...
I took the Eastwood mandolin to my local shop to have the nut slots cut deeper and for a set-up. Once it is a little more comfy to play, it should be a lot of fun.
The bridge looks like it was added for amplification, unless he built it that way. Most I have seen pictures of, and mine, have a simple carved bridge.

Beautiful, congratulations! Did you add the bridge?
That looks sort of similar to the Eastwood, though this one is more like a solid body but chambered, with a flat top.
It arrived today. Tunes well, the pickup actually sounds pretty nice. Fret ends...
Yes, Eastwood. I already have an Eastman.
I took a chance on this chambered electric mandolin with a humbucker pickup. Eastwood makes some really funky looking instruments, including mandocasters,...
I have a walnut backed Big Muddy ("primitive build"), and in general I favor it over my Eastman MD315 ( see avatar).
Great instrument and a bargain even at brand new price.
