Hmmmm...would that finish be called a "grinderburst"?:grin:

All the heavy build up of
tone killing paint and lacquer from the factory was stripped off and the entire piece
refinished by finger tip application with multiple light coats of Tongue Oil.
Yummmmm... :disbelief:

Who knows, maybe he really did lick the burst onto that thing. Looks like a possibility.

I'm glad it was refinished in the USA, where we know how to finish things off right.

There's nothing wrong with that finish that a can of black Krylon can't fix.

Yes, Krylon and Bondo!! This could be the new Cafe luthier project --- maybe pass this mandolin around to us amateur reptile dentists.

Looks like this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&item=200727964971&nma=true&rt=nc&si=Gqlg6hZYOJVrB0CWJt1i0dtNP9A%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc) is how it started out in life.
Current seller says:
It has a smooth, mellow tone with great resonance and sustain almost
like an old Gibson A style
Nice to know that about a Sojing (le bells, jingle bells....)

The only good thing I can say is to give thanks that it's "one of a kind" and we won't have to see any more of them!

I wonder if the same guy is responsible for the fine paving job this masterpiece is displayed on.

I'd be nervous propping that thing up like that. It might tip over and damage one of the rocks.

Clicked on the Sojing link and was referred to other fine Sojing products, including a "silent electric guitar." Whatta concept.
