That certainly wouldn't slide off you knee!

Yea, with that bridge position, you know it has to sound good!

By spending $1000 too much you get free shipping. What a deal.

something like this?





I gave this Victoria Starr Heart Guitar to the Country Music Hall of fame.. along with a Webb Pierce both went on permanent display.. In Nashville.

I’m sure that it’ll sound pretty ropey but I wonder what difference turning the top wood grain through 90 degrees to normal will make to the sound of a mandolin?

I would assume it would be difficult to support the weight of the bridge that way. The usual design has the load distributed across the grain, not in line with it.

.... but it would be possible to brace the top in a suitable way ....
