Well, it's here. I have mixed feelings of anticipatory nervousness, pure joy and sheer terror!
Rather than try to put all the resized pictures here, I'll just share the link to an online album:
The Renaissance Mandobeast Kit Arrives!
Going to read the assembly guide once or a hundred times, then do a dry fitting of a few things before getting started. For a fact, the following will be modified:
- my own custom soundhole
- custom binding top and bottom
- replace plastic (!) nut and saddle with bone or Tusq
- replace plastic bridge pins with something....real
- custom headstock and fretboard inlays
- strap buttons
So, here we go!
