    If you're hankerin for a sweet wall paper, I recommend the Mandolins In Progress thread or using the Mandolin Archive. I've used this one often (pinched from the Archive then photoshopped).

    Jamie, there was a picture a few years ago of a woman with a hammer over the top of an F-5. Is that still around?

    I don't remember that one Mike. I surely would have added that to my collection!

    For the Eastman Fans... I made this when the F4 styles were just coming out before I got my first (now gone) Eastman 814 #22.

    We've used so many different photos it's hard to keep track. Sometimes I'll put up a mando photo and then my dear wife will come along and put her guitar on there, or a band photo. It's so easy to change it there's no sense in keeping one picture up for too long...

    I have Bill Halsey's "prototype" in the "white" as wallpaper, very nice to see it in the raw when I build a fire in this thing and then go downstairs and play it finished! I smile every morning! Now that he 's coming back here, I'll have to give it back...maybe I should move REALLY FAST and he might miss me! Sure has been a great ride.

    I've been using this one at home. I call it "A whole lot of wood for a little bit of wood" because I took the money I got from the Indians and got the HD35

    My old one (my now gone rattlesnake) and my current one (my Prucha) at work. At home I've got a great one of Tony Williamson playing his Loar (a close-up, so just from his shoulders to just below the bottem of the mandolin) but unfortunately it's at home and I'm at work.

    Surprised at how many people seem to have vertical rather than landscape orientated screens.
