    Pretty cool tailpiece on the 2nd, truss rod cover would've been nice.

    that's the most creative variation on the classic shape I've seen in years. Also sounds great. If money was no object, I'd buy it.

    Love that fat, woody, articulate sound. The rest of his work is so cool - so many clever variations on the classic body and headstock shapes.

    Ron is listed in the Cafe builders data base, I wonder if he is active in the forums. His resonator mandolins are very cool.
