Peter just finished building this today, really impressed. This mando has excellent response, even with the lightest touch it still has excellent tone. Also, you can drive it super hard and it won't distort. One thing that really impresses me about his mandolins and guitars, is that they all play super easily. I has him set the action lower than usual, and it still retains clarity. This mandolin has a 9.5 radius at the nut, and 11 at the bridge. All around impressed with what he did here.

Very nice looking mandolin. What does a fully decked out Sawchyn like that cost?

Thanks, with the K&K pickup and the flight case, it was about 6300.

Peter makes great mandolins, no doubt about it. I'm sure you will grow to love it more every time you play it.

Very nice indeed.

Bound f-holes make me hot and bothered. Just lovely.

Very good price with the pickup and case as part of the package.

I think you should post some sound clips.
