    A few months ago I ran across a luthiers website. He was building mandolins with a single piece of wood from the headstock to the tail. I have searched and can't find it again. Anyone know who this is?

    There are three kinds of people: those of us that are good at math and those that are not.

    Thanks Guys..I have searched and searched for his site. I have finally decided to upgrade to a U.S. made mandolin. These mandolins definitely caught my interest. Anyone have any experience with these?

    I reviewed one of Jonathan's electrics at emando.com. I haven't tried his acoustics, but he's definitely got it going on with the electrics.

    Here's the review from Jazzmando.com of the Mann e-mando, too.

    Here are some threads with Jonathan Mann
