VERY pretty John. Love the color, the personal touches - headstock, tuners. It will sound as great as it looks too. Congrats!

It came, it's gorgeous and I already broke two strings. I am not sure which set of strings Bill puts on his mandolins. Dadarrio I have a set of J62 I think they will be ok. Anyone know for sure?

John, You're killing me!:)) My C# was part of the same group, and is still becalmed in NM waiting for a case to arrive so Bill can ship it. :crying: I'm not sure what strings Bill puts on his oval holes, my previous ff holes came with J74's. Of course, part of the fun of getting acquainted with a new mando is trying different string sets. Congratulations on your new mando...enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.:mandosmiley:

Randolf I was watching the tracking on this one and as of this morning it has set in Commerce Co since the 15th. I am very surprised it made it here this week. Anything coming here usually takes a solid 7 days. I am going with the J62 strings. I at least know they won't have to much tension. Good luck on the C#.

I talked to Bill he uses the 11 16 26 40 set. He ofered to send some but I will just pick them up here. These things happen and Bill will need them for the next batch of mandolins! Now to dig out my 590.
