    Ken, I love the look of that Fantasma! It is just too cool! Those bottom points look like they would be hard to do!

    Not too bad Skip, not as hard as it looks.

    Very nice. Cool design!
    Thanks

    Several mandolins of varying quality-any one of which deserves a better player than I am.......

    Ken,

    Beautiful! Looks like a one piece back; is that a redwood top? Interesting tailpiece too. Regarding the comparison shot with the A model, is it physically larger or am I having problems with the depth of field? Does it fit into a regular case?

    no, it's just closer to the camera, fits the case fine. Thanks,

    yes, it's an 1850's redwood top and yes, it's a one piece sugar maple back. Good combination for sound.
    Thanx
