1930s National electric mandolin made of dobro parts (as indicated by others in a thread here).
I love it! Was my father's and now it is mine. Still not made my tailpiece to replace the broken one and using a modified one now. However, I am honing my tailpiece making skills with cheap acoustic guitar resonator chamber conversions first. :>
damaged a bit as you see, seal torn off.

Thanks Rodney. No clips yet, just opened the box this morning.
Here's a mini-review (http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?79475-On-the-Ryder-train&p=1005678&viewfull=1#post1005678) based on my initial impressions, and here are some more pics (http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?79475-On-the-Ryder-train&p=1005729&viewfull=1#post1005729).
Once it get to know the Ryder better I'll post a clip.

Further to my notes re Headstock pictures (Dec.24th,2011 #748), I have relocated original posters . Old duffer's memory- totally buggered. They were printed by "Pickin'" magazine. I found two of them. One is of headstocks...banjoes, mandolins and guitars, copyright 1974 and labelled "The Artistry Of Pegheads". The other is labelled "The Artistry Of Fingerboards" which is self explanatory.Copyright 1975. I'm not au fait with USA copyright regs, but I could email copies of these posters if anyone over there s able to smooth the way.

This is an old thread, but worth looking through.There's a lot of beautiful original headstock art on display here. And, of course, I never get tired of looking at torches, flowerpots, and ferns.
I've added a couple that weren't already in there, a Gibson Doyle Lawson and a Sorensen Sprite:145606145607

Pretty much the same. The one in the classifieds (left) is older than mine I think. Made when Wayne put his name on the banner by hand. Mine is 2007 and he had begun to have the engraving done by Tom Ellis for convenience and consistency.
