According to the dealer, the Passernig I've got on hold should be done within the next two weeks. I'm not going to hold my breath, but I think it's time to get fired up.
Of course, just over the last few weeks my Collings MF seems to really be coming into its own. This might be tough!

I am anxiously awaiting word on your mando. Mine will be from different woods (Adirondack top, red spruce back/sides), but I am interested to see what you think. Are you thinking of selling it if you like the MF better? I have to wait until June, bummer. Good luck on the wait.

I'll take my Collings up so I can A/B them in the store. If it's close, I'll keep both until I decide which to keep. If the Passernig seems to have something special, I'll probably try to sell my MF, though it's definitely maturing and starting to speak to me in a way it hasn't up 'til now. I guess it's like a golf club that you threaten to replace....all of a sudden it becomes your favorite :lol:

Hey Mike, have you gotten your Passernig yet? Is yours the 'F' style with pear wood that Smokey Mnt. Guitars was telling me about. If so, sounds like there was a little delay in Stefan getting the instrument out, bummer. Mine should be in in 2-3 weeks, can't wait. My main concern is the neck, I really want a 1-3/16" neck due to hand issues, and of course, Stefan does nothing custom on his mandos. Sound wise they "sound" like they are going to be hard to beat.

I just talked to Stefan and it looks like mine is 4-6 weeks out, can't wait. He is a very nice guy and it sounds like he is happy with the progress so far. He even said he has the neck a little wider and bigger, which I did not think he would do - thanks Stefan! No rush on this end, rather he spend whatever time he needs to get it just like he wants it (not that I am not chomping at the bit to get it, mind you).
Evidently, the pearwood 'F' is on the way to the lucky new owner, congrats.
