Are there any different looking mandolins? I'm not actually looking
for one at the moment but I'd like to look
at them if anyone has any links.
I'm not talking about mandolins that look like a telecaster
or anything that different.
In general I like the F hole cutout but the A models are too plain and the F models are a bit too ornate.
I also think that the burst look is overdone. I like binding but glaringly white binding is over done as well.
As a starting point, does anyone have a link to a non-burst lighter finished F model (where you can see some wood grain) where the headstock is also as light as the body?
Are there any styles more ornate than the A model but less so (or different) than the F model?
I would think that the custom makers wouldn't all (mostly) be copying the F5 (or whatever it's called). The same with the production models. Must they all be exactly the same?
Here's one that at least isn't a burst and isn't just a dark stain.
Here is one that looks good but is A style with oval opening.
