Re: Ike Bacon Mandolin Help
Interesting design choices. I, at first, wondered whether that headstock had the little scroll broken off then thought maybe he ,ade it that way. The neck is also joined differently than most mandolins.
How does it sound and play? Maybe Ike is still around and you can get info from him.

He's on linkedin here: Ike Bacon.
You could also contact the Indiana Fiddlers Gathering and see if they have contact info for him or his band.
There is also this old thread with posting by another owner of one of his mandolins, tkdboyd who lives in his area.
