    Default Bernabe mandolin #21

    Heres one I just finished this past week. Carpathian top from John Preston and Red Maple from Old Standard. Radius fretboard. Carbon fiber and truss rod in the neck. CA bridge, James TP. I delivered this this past Saturday after being strung up a couple days and was actually played that night on stage. Heres is a video link.

    Beautiful indeed. I esp. like the snakehead-ish headstock on an F-style. Wish more builders would do that.
