Is a sub-$1,000 new American made Mando Available?

[mrmando]

Here is a new, handbuilt, American-made F-style under $1,000. It looks somewhat crude, but less crude than some of the builder's earlier mandolins. I do not know if it is any good. You pays your money and you takes your chance.

Anyone have any first hand experience or heard any comments about Hennis mandolins?

Someone mentioned Bryan England - he's got his caney creek f-style listed on his site for 1300 (nfi). closest i've found to the mark for new . . .

Try before you buy...

I'd be looking into these if I wanted an American-built F-style mando under $1K.
