Hi everyone,
It's been a long time since I've posted anything. I'd like to know if any mandolin builders on this site build left handed mandolins. I'm looking into having an A style built just for me. Something I can grow old with if possible :0). I'm not looking for anything exotic.
Spruce top w/F-holes
Mahogany back and sides
I'd like at least 12 frets I can reach comfortably :0)
An excellent maple bridge.
Scalloped Tail Piece
A plastic nut is fine but bone would be nice
I'd prefer it not be smothered in paint.
Neck should be Mahogany. Truss rod is debatable. We can squabble over it during the ordering.
*Inlays aren't necessary, but I'd like to know what inlays are available for the final decision* Tone, Volume and Structural Integrity are the priority.
This mandolin will be played live at cafes, festivals and under shady trees excessively :0) When asked where I got it from, I will brag a lot about it being hand made for me. :0)
If any ones interested in taking a wack at this when they have time in the near future, I would love to know how much it would cost. I'm broke right now as most people are but around the beginning of march, I won't be. That's when I'd like the work to start.
