Been hearing about this one in the replica series for awhile, but has anyone seen it or played one yet? I know there are a few floating around according to Don's site and John himself obviously has one. I've been waiting to see a picture ever since MacRostie said he was going to do one. Anybody???

Check out the recent cafe driven interview with John. Scroll down to the bottom and you can read about all of John's mandolin, including his Red Diamond and see what he says. I think he likes it pretty well.

Yeah, I've read the interview. I was just curious as to if anyone aside from John or Don had gotten a first hand look. Glassweb, did you notice if it was setup the same way as his loar? As far as the radius on the board or solid bridge base, etc? I know he thinks the neck is a bit on the small side, is the profile the same? You know, the nerdy stuff.
