I was delighted to learn after purchasing a used Poe mandolin - the F5 Fern pictured below - that Andy Poe has returned to full time building. Those of you who have been around the Cafe for a long time know that Andy's instruments were the subject of many enthusiastic posts between 2004-2010. When Andy cut back to part time building and stopped taking custom orders, I'm sure I was not the only one missing the steady release of new eye candy.
Well now he is back full time and appears to be taking custom orders (http://www.poestrings.com/options.html) again. I commissioned him to build the A5 you see below and thoroughly enjoyed working with Andy through the build process. What a wonderful guy and gifted luthier. I can't wait to see his new creations.

Here's my pair of Poes-ies (MAS cured for now):
