After many years of listening and hair-splitting, I found that of all guitars in the world, the only one I really feel is worth the asking price new, are the PTs with adirondack spruce top and braces, with mahogany back and sides. Preston's typical asking price is about $5100-6200 and after hearing a few samples of his work, I would gladly pay that for the sound.
Now does anyone know any mandolin makers that build such amazing tonal machines for such incredible values? Especially 2 points with adirondack spruce tops and braces, finished with nitrocellulose gloss?
I am a cheap bassard, but if I could own a sound machine like a PT guitar in a mandolin, like the Holy Grail I would be willing to pay a great price.
I wish PT made mandolins, then my search would be over, and my money gone.
Thank you for your help and bless you all.
