I hope Chris doesn't mind me posting a few pictures that he has sent me over the months. Chris has nailed the look I was after and he says the thing has an old sound to it - while still green!

so the truss rod cover is recessed with part of the inlay in it? Awsome! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

That looks great. What color will the top be when it's finished?

love the vine on the fretboard. normally I am not a fan of extra inlay but for some reason it just seems to work on this one.

Thanks for the comments.

Mike the color will be similar to the picture here. If you go to Archesmusic.com and look in the A Style Gallery, the color should be close to the first three pictures on his website.

As an Arches owner of two-plus years, I can say that you guys are going to be very, very happy. Al, that looks fabulous! I was wondering when yours was coming.

Thanks Eric.

Chris and I have not talked about a delivery date. I have asked him to take his time and do what he feels is right. I would suspect about a month to go, but I am in no hurry.
