Looks Mighty Fine, Ken! Is that the wide neck version? It looks like it will play very easily... have a great weekend!
It'a 1 3/16ths at the nut I believe. Does play easy.

Congrats John! She's a looker! Pardon my forthrightness, but do you need another mandolin? You've got quite a stable going there! (I know, what's need got to do with it?) :))
I wonder how many left until my build.........no hurry, no hurry. An artist must be given his space in which to create. Patience....:whistling:
Enjoy Merlefest Ken. I wish I was going.:(

Ken brought the mandolin by today. Its killer... love it! He had 2 other nice ones with him also. Thanks again Ken.
Sounds like these can be hard to get - but one more question for Ken or owners. What's the standard fingerboard width at the nut?

As an owner, I believe it is 1 1/8 at the nut. Ken also offers a wider nut width if requested.
I love my econo mando!

Yup - Ken will make the width at the nut to your specifications. Mine is 1-3/16" and I love it!
Ken - another beauty. I keep saying "Keep up the great work" but it's obvious I don't have to say that! :)
I like 1 1/8th at the nut, but I'll make any width, no more work to make a wide one than a narrow one.

I'll chime in here as well. I've had my Silverangel econo for about a week now, and I couldn't be happier. The tone and playability are just stunning. Seriously - if you're thinking of buying a new mando, there's no better deal than this out there now, unless you prefer a flat-top along the lines of the new Pomeroys and Arches. $10,000 tone at a 10th the price.
