    That "mystery picker" description sounds like Johnny Staats...

    That would be JR (and not the Dallas guy...)

    and I played the A model in a raucous jam up in the Calif. suite late Sat night. Lovely to hear and hold, and it held its own very well. Was impressed with the power and tone...and the lightness of the mandolin.

    Been awhile since we've heard from Danny's AX.

    Here is the very talented young picker Zack Arnold (Claybank) on the AX with Danny on his Sorensen VX for bit of Big Mon. Video quality is phone>Facebook>YouTube . . . but sound quality is pretty good --

    Nice job Steve. I think the headstock is more appropriate for the A body than it is for its cousin the Fx.

    Do not care for the head stock---in regards to "normal"---if it ain't broke do not attempt to fix it.

    I can see your concern.... if he was building a replacement neck on a Gibson A5 or the like, but the man is producing his own stuff.
    You are for sure entitled to your opinion, but you don’t have to sound like a jerk voicing it. This mandolin is not my “style” either, but it is a beautiful work of art in its own right! If I could afford it, I would definitely buy one of his VX mandolins, as that is more my “style”. Think before you quack.
