    Default Black topped pair

    I had two orders for black top mandos. Hadn't done one for some time. Off to there new homes tomorrow just in time for Christmas.
    Crappy pics, but you get the idea. Both sounding very fine.

    Gorgeous work there Gary. I love 'Blackface' mandolins & those are really beautiful,especially with the contrast to the beautiful Maple sides,

    Besides these being really beautiful mandolins, that sound great, I'm sure, I just want to draw attention to one thing.
    Have you guys and gals noticed the great work ethic that Gary has? He is putting out really fine mandolins, at a pretty steady pace. What a refreshing change!
    Way to go Gary! BTW, I have played his F5's, and they are totally marvelous!!

    Very nice. I fancy the A5, myself.

    I'm a sucker for a cool looking black-top, A or F style. One of my favorite looks. That pair is just gorgeous! Very nice work.
