That would be an E.F. Elliott 8-string electric mando. Ed is a "surf guitar" specialist, residing in Oklahoma. Worked with Music Man and Mosrite (you can see the influence in his guitars).Originally Posted by (WireBoy @ Jan. 25 2006, 18:25)
Ironic, as you don't see much surfing in the Okie state; nonetheless, he makes a fine electric mandolin. I regret letting my ruby red PRS-like 8-string go a few years ago.
Well, there are some fine photos to add to my "mandobabe" collection, originally started by THIS GUY.

Brilliant. One must particularly admire the artistry of the one lady apparently balancing the mando on her head while conducting a personal health exam.
Here is Deannie Richardson, fiddler and mandolinist on tour with Patty Loveless.
Lisa Fuglie is the fiddle player in the band "Monroe Crossing," but she's also an awesome mandolin picker as well.

If you're gonna walk on thin ice, you might as well dance!
Those earlier Millas are certainly a lot more attractive than their b@n#o playing contemporaries, IMHO.Originally Posted by (jgarber @ Jan. 26 2006, 13:53)
dixiecreek, you sexy thang. haha! (i can say that because we've been dating for over a year and a half)

Are they really women or are you photoshopping us? Dang! It kind of reminds me the the All Nurse band from the original Saturday Night Lives.
Paola Esposito and one more Pandini...
Those are patented Tone Producers. That way they can also sing thru their ears.Originally Posted by (otterly2k @ Jan. 26 2006, 14:21)

And now ... let's have a contest : who are the 3 ladies on the picture ? A little help, I took it in 1988 ... I know it's small but I'm gonna send another one, larger, if nobody guess # #
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!
I 2nd Otterly's comment - I don't wanna wear the dresses, either - I can just feel my skin itch from the starch. Judith

Mary Shannon (sister of Sharon) is a really good Irish mandolin player.
I'm sure someone can find a picture.
David A. Gordon
You've got some early Dixie Chicks there....
Here's one of Mary Shannon from Peter Coombe's website; one happy customer with her new mandolin:
