Here's one I'm building for a guy. Turned out better than I thought it would.
Just finished this nice purple F. Has the kind of sound I like.
I'll be in the first room off to the left when you start down the hall to the shows etc.
Yea long way. I used to live in Perea NM near Gallup.:grin:
If I can figure out how, I'll post a video soundclip, but I can say that this is one good sounding mandolin. Deep resonant and clear. I'll have this mandolin and 4 others at the SPBGMA festival on...
This is a very good mandolin. Old spruce top old maple back.
Here's the last econo for 2019. Distressed redwood topped and sugarmaple back.;)
Just finished this one. Haven't posted for awhile so figured I ought to.:))
Just finished this one. Been a long time since I've posted anything. Not been well.:(
yes Brick, this is sinker redwood. It has some dark mineral deposits on the lower left bout.First Fantasma with a pickguard...
I've just finished a Fantasma from sinker wood. Thus the dark marks at the bottom. I think this is a monster of a mandolin.:mandosmiley:
Thanks so much Steve, I think you were more patient than I was. I was actually thinking about hand delivering the 2nd one. Switzerland would make a nice little vacation for Laura and I. I remember...
Hey Skip, that mandolin has a look about it, got lots of character and personality. Not a cookie cutter mandolin. Felizatasiones:mandosmiley:
Yes, of course it can be changed. It's just part of the Fantasma design.
I really like that one Skip. Nice soft finish too. I haven't done much lately. Been sick.
yes, both are , The F to NC and the Fantasma to Germany.
I think this one has more resolution
Here is the 2nd Silverangel in 2019
Just strung up!:mandosmiley:
I've had the same problem with Rubner F style tuners and it was always the same one, the first G string. Gear just bound up and slipped. It happened more than 2 times. They said they have remedied...
Got it treidm. answered. Did u get mine? Having problems with my web site. I'm not up on high tech stuff, sorry, pm me if you want., that's no problem.
yes, already remedied that. Slightly shorter headstock.
Well, so happens that this El toro didn't have a sunken top. It was an optical illusion. When a top sinks, it's easy to see from the F holes. The inside part of the F holes are lower than the...
Just finished this one, a little different.
well, I can get the right sound that I like from Different woods, just the graduations are key. By tapping, you can learn a lot. Redwood carves like butter, spruce is a little more resistant. I've...
