Interesting tuner variety (Waverly???) on vintage F-4.

This is from my Weber Bitterroot custom. I haven't seen others use this striped ebony, but I think it looks kind of neat, if non-traditional.

The word "THE" I have a 1896 "The Merril" this pre-dates "The Gibson" so I read somewhere on this site. I have always wondered why the word "The" was there

Wow.

If I'm not mistaken, that Milanese mando has the entire headstock veneered in tortoiseshell...

Impressive.

This is a Trillium octave mandolin.

Can we see the rest of the Trillium mandolin in the "regular" picture-post section. The top is gorgeous.

Style 18 headstock

**resonant68** · Dec-02-2002, 12:46pm

The 19th c. Germanic/Austrian guitar heads were amongst my favorites to incorporate the flat-scroll-in-profile motif. Please don't lynch me, but to my eyes it is more elegant than the standard F-style head. I've also seen it applied to domra. I'd be keen to see some luthier apply the notion to mandolin.

Here's my Sigma SM-6S (imported, set up & distributed by C.F. Martin). #Don't know how old it is - bought it used in '96. #Headstock says: "Sigma Mandolin, Est. 1970".
