    Default Jacobson Genius!

    My package arrived from Martin Jacobson. The man is a CNC genius.
    Included were 10 peghead overlays inlaid with 'Pagan' in ivoroid and my pagan symbol in turquoise.
    They are quite beautifully done and I only hope I can match the quality with the rest of the builds.

    Marty also included a couple of spare logos and lots of dots for fretboard markers in turquoise. The turquoise against the black of the ebony is stunning.

    I can't get over the accuracy of the machining.

    Martin also included a tuner hole drilling jig which will make life a lot easier. I'm not sure what it's made of - some sort of composite material Marty?

    I'm very excited about this.

    The fretboards are from LMI and we think they stuffed up the cutting of the zero fret slot but that's another story. This ebony is a lot blacker than I expected considering the shortage of good Gabon ebony.

    Pete, looks like you are getting ready to try and give Mr. Gilchrist a run for his money.

    Yeah, when we all want you to make more mandolins we will just call Marty and have him send you more headstock overlays.

    Hehe, that's hilarious, Pete. Nice halftoning job on my logo script.

    The peghead fixture is Garolite XX, a graphite-loaded canvas micarta/phenolic composite.

    The ebony is very nice quality... LMII definitely got that part of it right.
