Just purchased a new JBovier A5 directly from Jeff Cowherd. After we had closed the deal Jeff had said to me, "Be patient and let me exceed your expectations." Exceed them, he did. I purchased one with a black top (spruce) and amber sides, back and neck (flamed maple). Tuners are Grover 309. Solid tailpiece. Even the custom case was more than I expected. The fit and finish are exceptional. Jeff's setup was outstanding. I purchased it from Jeff for the expressed reason that I could be sure he would do the setup. The sound is just great. Loud, (just the way I like it) with just a perfect balance between the highs, mids and lows. Outside of my Weber River F I've never owned a mandolin with such an outstanding set up. Wonderful playability also. Looking forward to owning this for a long time. Along with my Weber, this one is a real keeper. Included some photos.
