    Default Buckhorn waiting for hardware

    this is my latest F5, only a few weeks old...the pictures don't do justice showing the quilted maple back...there is a flaw in the spruce top that wasn't there untill final thickness sanding ..doesn't go thru to the back and is very stable..gives it an individual presence...the neck is also one of a kind being laminated two ways with walnut strips..not sure to use nickel or try bronze hardware...Click image for larger version.

    That's very striking. I love the walnut in the neck. This is going to look lovely when it's all fitted out. What's on the 'florida' fingerboard extension? I can't work out if it's a crucifix or some left over tape.

    Appears to be two small strips of tape when I really zoom in on the pic,Ron.Buckhorn, that is a beauty! Do you have some sound clips available of your mandos? I'd love to hear what they sound like!

    Well, I just missed THAT one completely! Going back, I just didn't zoom in enough. Cool touch.
