Real nice! Not under the Bulldog name anymore?

[barry k]

Hello Dan, Yes , still use the Bulldog name if someone wants it in a custom build. No difference in materials or methods or tone. Thanks for the compliment. BK

Yes , I taught my wife how to do the inlay almost 10 years ago, i always tell her she does a great job. She is a wonderful artist as well. Hey Paul, long time no hear !...yes the other mandolins are in good hands, and I believe these two will be powerful as well. great to see you here....keep in touch. thanks all for the positive feedback..bk
