Ward Elliott Mando #63

[Phil Goodson]

Here's my new A5 style Elliott mando.

Red spruce top, hard maple back & sides. Slab cut one piece back. Stainless steel frets. Scooped extension with sterling silver wire faux frets. Tone bars. MOP nut. James tailpiece. Fretboard compound radius 7.5-20. Grover tuners. Double bound side/top. Neck shaped to match my Henderson & stained to match also.

Great volume & tone now; can't wait to hear next year.

Happy camper!!:)

That is sharp! Love the 1 piece back.

Phil, I just saw and heard one of Ward's A's that my friend Henry Boitnott got about a year ago. Great mandolin. Look for yours to just get better and better. David

[Phil Goodson]

Thanks David.

I'm pretty sure it was Henry's mando that I saw being finished last year when I started talking to Ward. His was a beautiful mandolin and I understand that he's a good player.

Great looking mandolin, enjoy!

Congratulations Phil; it's a real beauty! I'm looking forward to checking it out at Kamp, if not sooner. (Now all you need is a two-point, an electric, and an oval hole.) I know your Henderson is a killer mando, so if another called your name, it must be something special too.

I hope you thoroughly enjoy it. :mandosmiley:

That mandolin looks awesome! Love the slab cut maple. The burst is absolutely perfect!
