Thought I would share a few photos of my latest flat top mandolin project.

Crystal Forest #CF1011-11
Adirondack red spruce top, curly maple back, sides and neck.
Ebony fretboard and peghead overlay. Grover 309 tuners.
Cumberland Acoustics bridge, 1 1/8" bone nut. Lacquer finish.
Wood from Old Standard in Fulton, MO.
This mandolin has a twin internal JJB piezo pickup with an endpin jack.

Here's a link to similar mandolin of mine played on YouTude. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5rmqMc9U38)

This one is going to a Led Zeppelin buff in Florida.

That's a good looking mandolin, Terry. The one in the link has a nice, even tone, with enough depth and complexity to make it interesting. Someone in Florida will be playing Going to California and maybe even Good Times, Bad Times pretty soon.
