what can you say? that's about as perfect as a Loar-inspired mandolin can be... absolutely exquisite work Jamie! no tricks to that treat...

What is the patent date on the pickguard? Is it a detail accurate to loars or a date that is significant to this instrument?

You make some of the best looking mandolins I've ever seen. Superb!

Thatīs a very nice looking mandolin for sure.

Now if I could only find a soundbyte or a little video in this thread... ;)

Jamie, Iīm sure you are aware of "the other" thread on here. A couple of questions asket there were: What caused the "delay" in your mando output in the last couple of years. Are you building full time. Whenīs #27 gonna be ready.

Now if I ever get to London... the drinks will be on me. (If fate has it I might be in Canada sooner).

I second that. All the photo layouts (as well as the mandolin of course) are totally artistic and great!

And I'll bet the manolin plays MUCH better than that pi-an-o! :mandosmiley:

I think that is one of the most beautiful instruments I've seen.
(Tom C -- that looks like an illustration from Extreme Pumpkins!)

It certainly looks easier to carry.

Very nice.

I believe the "other thread" is on Wiens #24.

GRP's questions as well as others on the "other thread" have not been directly adressed, not to mention some of the disturbing comments from past Wiens customers.

Me thinks the halloween picture theme of #26 is very appropriate. Very Scary issues associated with his mandolins.

Maybe we'll get the builder to chime in. So far he has not.

jamie, do you have a higher res photo of the mando on the piano to use as a desktop background?
