    Looks like a fine instrument, just wish there was a bit more light in the photos.

    Beautiful instrument. How "econo" is it?

    The only thing I avoided was binding on the back, everything else is there like top of the line, and the price, well, I guess I'm crazy. The sound of this mandolin is off the charts, has it all, power ,deep rich tone, I'm happy with it to say the least.

    Congrats! I'm a big fan of Ken's mandos. Unique, beautiful, and a tone all their own. Play Happy!

    He was not at home when I reached him. Said I was down the line. 8-10. Maybe September? I have two others to play. I'll live. All good things are worth waiting for.

    Guys, this thing is awesome. I don't know how many mandolins I own, and this is one of the best. Working on a video.

    That's great to hear! I've never even played a Silverangel before so I felt like I was rolling the dice a little. But I had heard so many good things that I didn't really feel it was much of a gamble - especially because I think a lot of mandolins sound either thin or harsh and I've never heard of a Silverangel described that way. It sounds like it will be right up my alley.

    Loved the looks of them. Love what I heard of the sound of the F styles. An A style is always more reasonably priced, and I don't think I ever have been able to discern any loss of sound from and F to an A. The Redwood top mandolins I've heard, really have an even distribution of sound throughout from bass to treble.

    I just bought a 2016 from a Cafe member, but it's been stuck in customs for two weeks - I'm hoping to have it in hand this week and join the happy campers!

    I absolutely love mine. It is a wonderful instrument, I would not hesitate to buy again. I want a matching F5!
