That is a beauty of a mandolin - enjoy and congratulations!

[dang]

That's a real beauty! Every time I see one of those I want to buy one…

And that nugget tailpiece looks amazing, have those been upgraded in recent years?

[Nevin]

Very, very nice.

[JEStanek]

Sweet. It should have a great voice, too! Color me jealous!

The Nugget tailpiece is a recent invention of Mike Kemnitzer and sold through Northfield Mandolins. Very nice people at Northfield!

[soliver]

Beautiful!!!... I love a good looking Pancake!!!

Can't wait to get one for myself!

Will they just sell one of those directly? I kind of want to put one on an old A Jr. I have laying around.

Yes, that's how I ordered my Nugget tailpiece from Northfield. Best to call them at (877) 367-7304.

What a beauty!

Sound clips?

[Eric Platt]

Wow. Beautiful. Can't wait to hear about how it sounds.

[NewKid]

Well, I got home from work at 6:30 pm and have been playing it for the last 2.5 hours. It is loud and sweet and easy to play! I intend to break it in over the next couple of months and then perhaps I'll post a video. However, its as good as all the Poe Scout videos currently on YouTube.

It is such a great pleasure to play this instrument. I wish you could all give it a try.

[Randi Gormley]

Lovely -- play it in good health!

Andy Poe's instruments are always impressive. His Scout model has become one of his signature accomplishments. Your new Scout is beautiful. Play it in good health!

[Dave1066]

Looks beautiful, can't wait to hear it!

[Mandolinespieler]

wish you the best! I love my #68 I got back in December. It has truly changed my previous prejudice against the A/N style mandolin.

[fatt-dad]

totally cool!

f-d

[NateRed88]

Beautiful instrument!

[Br1ck]

Mandolin envy here.

[Verne Andru]

Beautiful!

What is the black stuff under the strings on the tailpiece?

I ask because if it is what I think it is - some sort of spongy black rubbery-plastic - it will disintegrate over time. 10 years maybe? Looks easy enough to replace but best to keep an eye on it just in case.

[Caleb]

That is the coolest looking pancake/Army-Navy mandolin I've ever seen.

Thanks Pat! I joined the group. My Poe Scout is #75, the next one after yours!

Hey Don, in case you haven't seen it, #75 has joined Andy's other recently completed instruments on the Poe Strings website:
