This custom made mandolin from Howard "Sonny" Morris in Irrigon, Oregon is stunning in every way! I sold my Kentucky KM-1000, which was really hard to part with, and used the proceeds to have this one crafted just for me. I am glad I did!
Reaction (not an actual critique): I have never seen nor played a more beautiful instrument. This mandolin has a western cedar top, big leaf maple sides and back, three piece neck and cocobolo fretboard and headstock overlay. The sound is sweet and true, the action incredible (1-3/16" nut and radiused fingerboard), and the sustain is like a vintage Martin guitar. I am so happy with Howard's incredible work and his friendly dedicated service. I can plug this one in, too, since it has a K&K mini installed with a jack pin. Great through an old vintage amp with a 12 inch speaker. Thanks Sonny Morris!
