After months of MAS, this lefty guitar player ordered a custom lefty A from Ron Cole on June 18. It's hard to believe, but he shipped it from Idaho today! It will be here on Wednesday (go, FedEx!), which coincidentally will be August 18.

It's a burgundy 'burst engelmann top, tortoise binding on body and fingerboard, with light curly maple b&s. 1-1/4" deer antler nut (!!), gold hardware to accent the dark top.

I will post pics rapidly after I get it. Now, I gotta learn how to play the durn thing, so I don't sound like background music in a Chinese restaurant! I just hope it ain't harder than tryin' to milk a bullfrog!# http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Keep us updated. #I've been curious about Ron Cole's mandos for a while. #From your description, this one sounds like it's gonna be purty to look at.
