OK, now let's see the back.
There is a LOT more ivory on the bridge than on my Style 4.
Are the 7th and 12th fret inlays "plain" ovals?
Gary, the 7th and 12th are engraved oval shaped pearl, very nicely done,kind of flower/scroll motif. #I will be posting a pic of the back, and let me say, this "babies got back"
Michael Lettieri
Very nice! I've been dreaming of one for months now and your irritating my MAS...hope I don't have another breakout!
Look up (to see whats comin down)

The back looks very nice!
How does it sound? What did you string it with?
I haven't put new strings on it yet, it came with I think ghs 250's??? I am contemplating what strings to put on it though. TI's, or some other medium's, any suggestions. Oh it sounds and plays wonderfully

I like Martin lights (.010 - .034) on these instruments. I think D'Addario has a set of the same weight that are probably also good. I'd definitely avoid anything too heavy.

My my! That is a beauty! Congratulations!

Vega update: I have restrung it with TI mediums, never used these before, but what a nice feel and tone they add.
Michael Lettieri
Superb! what a beautiful mando! Congratulations!

Absolutely delicious, Michael. Be vigilant of the neck and cant under TI mediums. Flat-wound strings pack more tension than round-wound. TIs tend towards the lightish in general and I suspect they will be fine...but do be watchful.
