Hi all. I don't get to build many mandolins these days, but I though you'd be interested to see this solid electric I've just completed for a customer who is travelling to India shortly.

It is a solid maple body, with quilt maple front / back and headstock veneer. The pickup is an alnico coil from a P-bass and the tuners are Gotohs.

Thanks for looking, I'd be very interested to hear any feedback re the design, shape etc.

Cheers,
Rob.

Very cool design, Rob!
I particularly like the peghead shape, and that maple is beautiful.
No pots?
