For some reason it seems a perfect match for Chris Teally http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

Cool color and I'm sure it will look sharper after finish.
Does it glow under a blacklight?

no black light required for this one http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif I have about 80% of the binding scraped and it really brings the color out more.

What flavor hardware are you going to use, nickle or gold? I bet they would give 2 totally dfferent looks.

I am planning on using nickel hardware. this is also the 2nd Rose for this customer and the other Rose has the gold hardware. Thanks tope are you putting out any mandos lately? I am a fan of the others you have done.

Very cool, its very nice work. are the frets normal size?

The frets are larger. same size as a D-28. Thats all I have been using lately. seems everyone is going w/ a radius fret board and the bigger frets.

This is the finished product. This is exactly like the one I am building for Jeff Parker of the Lonesome River Band.

Yippee!! #This is my mando!! #And I'm so excited I can't hardly stand it. #This is my second Rose mando and Darby tells me that the sound #on this one may even be better than my first. #He says this one is a real freight train!!
I like things that are different - that's why I went with this unusual color. #I think it's gorgeous!! #Darby hopes to ship tomorrow so I will give an update as soon as I get my excited hands on it. #Yippee, yippee, yippee #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Just took No. 16 over to Darby's for a label, and got to try out No. 18 while I was there. Katmando3 is getting a great mando! Awesome tone (to my ears) and a beautiful instrument. I didn't want to put either one down. Nice work, Darby!
