Whats the deal on this one?

I don't think I've seen anything about this particular mando on here. Anyone have any idea about the builder? It looks pretty decent, gotta imagine the price is gonna go up right at the end, doesn't that seem pretty low? NFI etc..., just wonderin

Maybe it's the photo angle or the light or my astigmatism ... doesn't the scroll look a bit "lumpy"?

i'm thinkin its just the pictures that make it look that way, but i can't tell for sure, as they aren't very good quality photos http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

The scroll looks a little smaller than a regular F5 scroll. I love to color and overall look, though. I think many people are hesitant to shell out a lot of money for a complete unknown builder. I'd personally feel better about bidding on it if I could play it(of course).
