Latest Repairs -- It's been a while! Elec mandos, 'linettos, etc.

[Jake Wildwood]

Guys -- I'm sorry I haven't been around. My repair workload is scary and family takes up any spare time after it -- with music shoved-in around the corners!!! I also just haven't been working on mandolins all that much, lately.

Anyhow, I wanted to share some mando-related gear since the beginning of the year. Blog links (lotsa pics, soundclip, info) are below the pics.

Thanks, all of you guys!

I'm going to try to post more, BTW -- just make it a habit to share some of this odd stuff. There's a L&H style A mandola I can't wait to spruce up and post centerfolds of... :D
