    Mtucker are these pictures of this batch coming over in mid march, or are they from last year. I have a model 1 hopefully arriving the 15th... Do you or Don have any more work in progress?

    I think they're from this year since the photo includes junior versions of the model 3 and model 5. No?

    Yep, it's the latest group. I was just in touch with Steve and he sent along that picture in his reply. Nuttin' for me in there.

    If you're looking for sound samples of Gilchrists, see the link in my signature.

    The instruments are almost done, just receiving polishing and fit-out then ready for their journey. Don has the only group shot I've seen.

    And here, after the full fret replacement by Snuffy Smith. Went with fatter frets. He did nice work, dinnit he?

    Absolutely love it! The larger frets make for easier bending of notes, and just seem to get a fatter tone all around, with better feel. And sliding is a breeze, now that the pits are gone. Should have done it long ago.

    Don't know how anyone can look at these photos of mandolins and say that they are "just a tool".
