Looks like you're off to a great start! I like the idea of a rose design for the headstock inlay.

Nice work. The F holes look really cool. Lp

**ronlane3** · Dec-14-2006, 10:34am

Wow, and only 18.

**gschmidt** · Dec-14-2006, 10:39am

Very nice. Love the F holes too.

You're first pic has a bit of an illusion... it looks like the F holes go all the way through with that background. Cool effect!

**Mark Walker** · Dec-14-2006, 11:25am

Very nice! I see a great future for you as a luthier!

**tattiemando** · Dec-14-2006, 11:25am

Sweet mandolin very tasteful.

**mandopete** · Dec-14-2006, 12:02pm

Nice mandos!

"You can't use 6/4 chords 'willy nilly'" - can you explain?

**BradB** · Dec-14-2006, 12:03pm

The upper point on the body is a little different from the usual Gibson copy. It sort of has a rock guitar look to it. I like it.

**Dan Voight** · Dec-14-2006, 12:13pm

Here is to the "You can't use 6/4 chords willy nilly".

Its just something that my theory proffessor at U of M said when we starting getting into 6/4 chords (chord spelled with the bass on the 5th of the chord). For example, G/D would be a 6/4 chord or G6/4. It is figured bass used primarily in the classical period (now were getting theoretical). 6/4 chords are usually only used in certain cadences and in specific situations, hense the quote, "You can't use 6/4 chords willy nilly".
-Brian DiBlassio

(Now were going to get into a 6/4 chord discussion)

What woods are you using? Pricing?
Work looks good.

**testore** · Dec-14-2006, 12:52pm

That's some damn fine work.I usually don't like violin inspired mandolin f holes but I like yours.Great job, if you keep going maybe you can avoid getting a real job like the rest of the builders here.

Very nice. I like the peghead on number 2. How much will these sell for. I beleive in buying from luthiers when they first start. How much? Feel free to send me any pictures. Great job. I want nickel hardware and a James tailpeice if thats ok with you.
