Re: But wait. This doesn't look like that other one
They both look good--I'd be happy with either--even though neither looks like mine...
Would it save you a lot of time if I just gave up and went mad now?
Re: But wait. This doesn't look like that other one
That is so cool.

Can you give us details on the nut width? Is it X-braced?

I think they are the same. The 'simulated background' bit seems to me to be a clue. But I've been wrong beforeOriginally Posted by DataNick
Re: But wait. This doesn't look like that other one
Of course one gets a choice. Now you can have one that is just fine in every way at a reasonable price or spend 2-3 or more times as much for one that sounds pretty much the same but has a fancier design. Your choice.
OK, they're stickers, probably cost the same, but they're channeling the spirits of luthiers of yore ...

Re: But wait. This doesn't look like that other one
I must still be asleep,or typing by remote maybe !!. I looked at both images,trying to see what the 'difference' was,then it dawned on me that they're of an "A" style mandolin - Oh well,i'll be great when i wake up !!,

Nice! I need some!

Re: But wait. This doesn't look like that other one
Top one every time. Looks good if you stick it on at an angle like The Gibson. prefer scroll as it is SO DIFFERENT .

Re: But wait. This doesn't look like that other one
Differences I can see:
Obvious difference in the one from 04/2014 is F style then, A now.
The differences on the 2 on this thread from each other:
Top: has a gray outlined sound-hole, also a gray streak at the bottom of the L, background is white with gray line border.
Bottom: Lighter gray tail piece, Full Gray background, body not as dark.
What do I win??

Re: But wait. This doesn't look like that other one
Wait, wait, wait...where's the A style with ff holes! I feel un represented in sticker choices!!! 😜
(Not sure if the emoticon thingy showing that I'm kidding shows up, but it is supposed to be there).

Re: But wait. This doesn't look like that other one
Or a paddle head, instead of snake head.That's OK - this is still a lot closer to what I've got.
I don't think Scott is about to create a different sticker for every body style possibility. This isn't what he's here for - he's got much bigger fish to fry, and every day is a Saturday night fish fry.This addition represents a 100% increase in available offerings, and comes out of the blue as an unexpected and most welcome surprise. And all you ingrates can do is quibble over minuscule details?!?
Honestly!

Wow, sorry for making this so difficult for some of you. There's a link in the opening post.

Re: But wait. This doesn't look like that other one
And I sold my snakehead last year!!!! :-(
Re: But wait. This doesn't look like that other one
I was planning to make my next mandolin an A-style with f-holes. Looks like I need to re-think my plan. Beautiful! Is there a release date?

Well done, Scott!

Re: But wait. This doesn't look like that other one
I assume the A oval hole will be a better value since no wood or effort was wasted on the scroll. Won't really be suitable for Bluegrass though.

Re: But wait. This doesn't look like that other one
Love it ~ are the new stickers available yet?
... not all those who wander are lost ...
Re: But wait. This doesn't look like that other one
Does it have a Virzi?

Re: But wait. This doesn't look like that other one
Are these available now? Or is this just the completed design ready to go into production?
Re: But wait. This doesn't look like that other one
This initial design was completed last evening by the very talented and lovely Mrs. Mandolin Cafe who ably assists on the site. I've given it the go-ahead. She thinks it's ready to go to the printer but wants to look over one more time. I think a month is probably a safe time frame by the time they receive the print-ready artwork and we go back and forth on communication, particulars, a print cycle and shipment here. It will be identical in size to the F sticker, designed to just fit into a business size envelope.
Re: But wait. This doesn't look like that other one
Kudos to the lady!
I have one suggestion, admittedly minor. My first look at it made me think the line of the pickguard was a cord from a pickup. Looking at it again, I think that comes from it ending at the bridge, instead of just above it, and also not having the other edge of it defined. Maybe adjusting that would help, if it doesn't make the overall design too busy. But this might just be me, being a bit too picky. So to speak.
