My "New to Me" 1997 Ratliff R-5

So I'm finally back on my feet after breaking my heal and was able to get some outside shots of my Ratliff. It's in good shape for a '97- just a wee bit of honest wear.

That's a pretty mandolin and I do hope you are feeling better...

Congrats!! On the Ratliff and getting on your feet. That is a beauty and I am sure a great player. I love mine. Audey is a great guy and builds a superb mandolin. If you want to know any more about it give Audey a call he is great and always willing to talk and give information. I found my 1998 Ratliff and talked to him a couple times before buying. I couldn't be happier.
