This 0-15T is lovely... it's got more oomph to it than the 5-15Ts I'm more used to and punches out octave mando tuning with an unwound A in delicious style. I'm having so much fun with it that it hasn't managed to get anywhere near the store yet... maybe that's a sign... :)

And here's a friend's Givens/Tut Taylor/ODE/Gretsch/Baldin F-style mando:

This one is pretty killer, too, but likes to be warmed up for about 10-15 minutes before it's sassy.

As always, more pics of the 0-15T can be had here (http://antebelluminstruments.blogspot.com/2012/09/c1960-martin-0-15t-tenor-guitar.html) and more pics of the ODE can be had here (http://antebelluminstruments.blogspot.com/2012/09/c1970-ode-f-style-carved-mandolin.html).
