you must be absolutely beside yourself (tricky gig, that....)!! if it sounds as sweet as it looks.....can't wait to hear your reviews, maybe a sound clip or two? truly a beautiful piece of work--the redwood top and cherry back are just lovely. congrats!!:mandosmiley:

Thanks all...hope to have it delivered sometime on Sat.
will try to record a few clips to post and let you know how it sounds......but I am sure it will be sweet ...Jon has been great keeping in touch during the whole build...sending pictures and checking on final features.
I have been wanting a Mann two point for a while now...I can't wait to hear some sound clips and read your thoughts.

It arrived today and well..the pictures don't do it justice....it is incredible...Jon is an outstanding builder and his workmanship is impeccable. sounds as good as it looks...I am very impressed...
I found Jon through this forum and I am glad I did. He communicates with you during the whole build process with pictures and input. Had a few house chores (new mailbox and lamppost install)to do today so tomorrow I will try to post some new pictures and a sound clip as soon as I can.
Again, thanks to Jon Mann for a great mandolin and buying experience.
