Congratulations, Darwin! That's a spectacular mandolin. Nothing like a Heiden. Could be a twin to my A-54 except mine has different binding and the older headstock shape--same coloring and same inlay, though. Beautiful! Enjoy!

Thanks Don!!
I just can’t believe how great the Heiden mandolin sounds like you said they are spectacular. The number on my is #99...
Nice looking instrument. I prefer this "traditional" headstock shape to the simplified version he usually goes with on his A-style mandolins.
No secret that I'm a Heiden fanboy but damn, that's beautiful!

"I play BG so that's what I can talk intelligently about." A line I loved and pirated from Mandoplumb
The truss rod covers are friction fit. I've never had mine off because I've never needed to adjust the truss rod. One thing that doesn't get mentioned is Heiden's setups. They play like a dream. His setups are the best I've ever played or owned and I'ved owned almost as many as Shaun.

Michael has done it again! He surely knows the recipe for an amazing mandolin.
That's a beautiful instrument! I do like the more traditional A style headstock as well, that's what's on mine #92. I'm not super familiar with the model distinctions for Heiden. What is an Artist Plus?
...and you guys have probably already seen it, but there's a really nicely written article about Michael Heiden's career as a builder in the latest Fretboard Journal...some nice photography too
