Neck and back of headstock. I hope you enjoy. I will provide a review in the instrument section. Take care, going to pick this wonderful instrument.

The problem with the pics (as with any high quality mandolin) is they can't begin to convey the sound that that instrument will make. I've had the pleasure of playing an Ellis, congrats on a fine instrument.

Tony,
CONGRATS dude! Nice mando but I am biased If you are going to be at IBMA maybe we can get together.... Seems like forever since we last talked @ SPBGMA!
That's a lifer Tony!
Thank you guys for letting me know there was this Ellis at Gruhn's. There is a similar one at Carmel Music. Here is the link. No financial interest.

Tom said the one I got has similar wood. If so, that one is a keeper too.

Beautiful! I was ready to sit back and see since it was a long term deal
Please take some time in the next few days to let us know how you like and how you came to your decision.
I'll be returning to the Ellis fold soon so anything Ellis related will help me survive until my A is ready.

I hope you love it. I really liked my old MF-5 too, but when I got the Ellis, I had no reservations about letting it go. It was every bit the match of the Collings in terms of fit and finish, but looked more like a handmade instrument to me (not so much of a C & C look like the Collings mandolins have on the headstock binding). No slight to Collings. They make great instruments. I love the wood Tom used on my instrument. It has some of the most beautiful figure I have ever seen on a mandolin, but then again, every mandolin I see of his shares this characteristic. The tone is so complex and beautiful right out of the box and gets even better with some hours of hard playing under your belt. Congrats again.

Hope you don't mind, Tony, but here's mine.

That back it insane! I gotta ask Tom if he can dig some of that up for my new one.
Tony, I was admiring the pics of that one on Gruhn's site. It seems to have a little more of a brown burst.

Here's the pics from Gruhn, I thought the color looked a little different from most Ellis' but Tom said it wasn't, who knows but I like looking at Tony's new baby.

Beautiful! I'd love to see Tom do a blonde or two.

You must have just seen that blonde Gil and are just trying to surpress a MAS flare up.

The Collings picture threw me off (6th pic down).
Sorry about the MF5 pic. Was taking some of the MF5 at the same time for the classifieds. I will take some more of the Ellis tomorrow and post them.
