    Default Who's the most fetching?

    Since we have a thread to discus what mandolin builders have been blessed with the most financial success, it got me thinking...
    Which mandolins makers are the most fortunate in mother natures physical endowment?
    Perhaps the other thread is somewhat biased toward the more mature among us, and perhaps this one is somewhat biased toward the more youthful among us, but it seemed like a fun idea, so.
    What do you think?

    Any female builder would be more blessed than you ----------------from my perspective !

    On the male side, I'd say Dan Voight. Moonlights as a model and is a body builder.
    But I've met a lot of luthiers and there's a reason we're not featured in GQ.

    Sorry, this is just plain silly! I've been told that I'm pretty well endowed for a guy! Of course, that was eighty pounds ago!
    Maybe a more well directed question is "Who makes the most fetching mandolins of the last ten-fifteen years?"

    Good that bodybuilders don't get too carried away with muscle-building (like some do), this just looks healthy - has mandolin content:

    Great thread. As I frequently tell people, I categorically refuse to play instruments built by ugly people.

    Llyod's at least a 7/10, which I think we can all agree is the minimum attractiveness for a mandolin builder.

    Too funny. I just want enough strength to carry 10 mandolins with me wherever I go.

    You'd have had to be paying attention in January 2016, Trevor. An old thread that has come back to life.

    Sorry Trevor, I only spotted that the thread started a year ago. I've tried to find it, but have proven to myself time and time again that I am hopeless at using the search engine - and this time is no different. Maybe someone else can remember the thread?

    Forget the looks, all this thread is proving is that we have competency issues, failing memories and worse eyesight.

    If we are talking about Dan Voight, things can get pretty strange here on the Cafe.

    Assuming you posted in the thread it would be very simple. Just click on your name and select View Forum Posts then navigate back to that time period and see the list of threads you contributed to. I looked and see no such thread, but there are hundreds over the years of people gnashing their teeth about pricing. This one you posted in could serve the purpose I suppose.

    Yes that is strange. Someone's been going around photoshopping Dan's face into those pictures of me.

    I keep saying to the newbies "welcome to our wild, wacky world" and this thread just goes to prove my point. What fun.

    This reminds me of the Seinfeld "Merv Griffin Set" episode.
