Beautiful! Please keep us posted.
Thanks! Every Pava I've seen has been fantastic!! They have a GREAT team over there.
I recently put down a deposit for a custom Ellis F5 Tradition so the waiting begins... Who else is in line with me?
As to why no Gibson in the list... The limit is 10 for a poll, so I tried to focus on individuals and very small teams.
To the point about most people having never owned or played mandolins from...

You're going to love it! I've never seen another maker with as much attention to the small details. The craftsmanship is unbelievable as is the tone; a bit deeper, richer, and more complex than I had...
The blast was downtown. The Mandolin Store appears to be north of Nashville in a suburb. Carter's is downtown but about a mile away. I'm just getting all of this from Google Maps, though. A local may...
Thanks! It's very 3D and the pattern completely changes with the angle.
