    This design might change the world! I'm going to have to get on his list. Please post more when it's done, and let us know all of the details!

    I'm kinda just walking around in a daze since I saw this image.
    As a guitarist the Gibson L5 or L7 was my favorite body shape and my favorite sound.
    I saw this body on a Cuban Tres, another one of Jon's creation on his YouTube channel.

    To be Honest I've played Jazz and blues mandolin along with bass,different types of lap steel, bottle neck and regular electric guitar.if you don't count a long break to raise my family... a good part of my life. The ManndoRaptor is a joy to play and I've got to say it's wonderful to finally play my music on mandolin the way I wanted to play on guitar
    However I always played acoustic mandolin , about 4 years ago I started playing Bouzouki as well. This beautiful peace of art is my first electric mandolin and I'm still getting used to it , incorporating the high b string into my playing and working on a couple of pieces which will be another week or so.

    I did a part 3
    From the time I started buying and playing instruments till now and that was quite a few. There's been a few Les Pauls,Strats , Teles and a L7, ES355 along with Martin, Gibson and Guild Acoustics and one A2 mint Gibson Mandolin ,I miss that one most.
    Out of all of them this is the finest instrument I've ever owned. However Ed, your right about MAS. I am now wanting one of his 2 point acoustics
