    I own mine... I've always liked reverse scrolls... and this carved-top version of the same idea has the tone and feel to go with it.

    The folks at First Quality took some nice shots of my Sumi 3pt before I bought it. Traditional with a twist and great wood and finish.

    I like the "A" style. This one listed on ebay at the moment looks lovely:

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=370329317986

    I have no idea how it sounds. But it looks nice. And it's one I might realistically be able to afford at some point.

    I'm having a hard time determining which of these I prefer, but the two designs I keep coming back to as favorites are Stefan Sobell's mandolins; and Stephen Holst's F-styles, with their flashy colors and interesting sound holes -- although this recent two-point from Gary Nava looks pretty sweet as well...

    Hm, I may need to add to my selection a "pie in the sky" addition. Mr Dean's mandolins are FANTASTIC.

    I have to confess that this darkly delicious Dude.(# 2 - pic.'kidnapped' from an earlier thread), does it for me. It looks as though it could play itself !. If this is #2,i'd love to see #1, & i wonder how many prototypes Lynn built before he released his Mandolins into the world,

    Gilchrist Model 2, blacktop - Looks nice but it's the sound that really makes it a super model.

    Frankly, Hans, your workshop is like a Supermodel Agency to me... So many beautiful mandolins.

    I hate to brag (ha!) but this model designed in conjunction with Andrew Mowry has proven to be a very popular model- Andrew's put the headstock on a nice bunch of mandolins, and we spent a good deal of time getting it just right, first on MINE!

    Lots of eye candy here. I've never seen an oval hole Giacomel before. Love it. We need better photos of that blacktop Gilchrist oval, too. Sweet.

    The sunburst on the back of Hans's F-4 does it for me. That is just a breathtaking sunburst, at least in my world.

    I am a man of simple tastes. Granted, this is a mandola, but it illustrates the matter.
