    And now for the required scroll shot. Yes, I admit it. I have scroll fever. More scroll beauty shots follow.

    The binding on both the front and back is blk/wht/tort/wht/blk. I love the way it stands out against a blonde instrument.

    The whitish color inside the scroll is not dust. It is an artifact of the light reflecting off wood that isn't finished as smoothly as the wood outside the scroll.

    Another close-up shot. You can see the wht/tort/wht/blk binding on the fretboard.

    The last scroll shot. Here you can see the unusual neck joint I had him try. I had a "thing" against the traditional joint that just plain looked weird to me. This looks a lot cleaner and he found it easier to do as well.

    Last picture of my Red Diamond. This is the top-most point. The flare at the end is NOT an optical illusion. The edge of the point is actually wider than the side. This is one of the things he does to make his instruments unique. I also like the "box binding" he did on this.

    It took a while to get, but it was worth the wait. I love the looks and love the sound.

    I would be real tempted to order the same thing. That mandolin looks great.
