Thread: Hilburn #12 peghead

    Default Hilburn #12 peghead

    This is a mandolin I built in the mid 90's. The only time I posted a picture of it was in "Mandolin Oddities". However the peghead caught my attention this morning from it's perch on the wall and I thought I'd share it.

    #12 photographed on April 12th posted at 12 today. Hat Trick! Ridiculousness aside, that's a fine headstock. The inlay almost looks like a signature! I really like it.
