This is the last of the latest batch and I am ready for a little holiday break!
You will find a review and more pictures of this mando later this week on Ted Eschliman's site, JazzMando.com
I didn't light this one very well, so sorry for the so-so pics...

Beautiful mandolin! I really like the color and your peghead shape is awesome!
Oh, great! #Yet another stunning color finish that I have to pick from when Austin starts to build my F5! #Decisions, decisions.

That is one classy mando. I love the color and the workmanship looks great. I bet that back looks even better in person.

My favorite mando color and binding treatment.(I personally know 2 BRWs that could be family!) Also, the radiused edge on the pickguard puts it in a league with the big boys. IMO that is.

Austin is most definitley a rising star. Too bad this one is already sold...
(But I know he can make another equally splendid!)

If I wasn't on the end of a year wait, I would get on Austins list. Great job on the review Ted.
