    Re: EBMW F Style Octave Mandolin

    Thanks Skip. I actually had a customer ask me to build this one. I'm hooked on the sound. I'll have to build one for myself now.

    Re: EBMW F Style Octave Mandolin

    Re: My first H5 Mandola build.

    I took a couple of different plans and add some stuff of my own. It's not really an H5 in true Gibson sense of the designation.
