I hardly ever get my mouth hanging wide open over a "modern" Gibson mandolin. But this one (http://www.mandolincafe.com/ads/62146) is something else. X braced MM. I'd love to hear it being played. No financial interest.

"The instrument responds to you and just keeps giving . . ."

I love that kind of talk.

The maple back is spectacular but the looseness (open spaces) of the scroll really does not satisfy my sense of aesthetics. It just looks wrong and kinda sloppy. ymmv

My guess is that the light wood w/ dark binding against a dark background makes the scroll look more open in the photo than it would in real life; probably just about standard size.

So the issue becomes... what color shirt to wear?
