Actually it is $19,700.00. There is no choice on color on the calton case. We are in the final stages of developing our own specific calton for these that are exceptionally cool! Plenty of space for storage and the headstock will not touch the sides of the case. It will have "The Gibson" in script actually formed into the side of the case. When it is ready you will love it. Stay tuned.

Dear ole Charlie Derrington. We were going to have Loyd Loar stop by, but he was unavailable that day http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif .
Joe, why are you using that mismatched logo? I mean open style "The" and Closed style "Gibson". And do you use bent binding on the headstocks or the CNC machined binding in one piece? Looks exactly like a MM's headstock on the pics.

The picture is a prototype, so the logo was one I had in stock. The production logo may be closed or open as I'm not going to have a standard other than the common Loar variations.
I'll let you determine how we do the binding. #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
